The PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT ioctl was returning -EINVAL when using
--pid when monitoring multithreaded apps, as we can only share a ring
buffer for events on the same thread if not doing per cpu.

Fix it by using per thread ring buffers.

Tested with:

[root@felicio ~]# tuna -t 26131 -CP | nl

11 mmaps, one per thread since we didn't specify any CPU list, so we need one
mmap per thread and:

[root@felicio ~]# perf record -F 50000 --pid 26131

Ok, one of the threads, 26151 was quiescent, so no samples there, but all the
others are there.

Then, if I specify one CPU:

[root@felicio ~]# perf record -F 50000 --pid 26131 --cpu 1
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]

     6       9 661
     7       9 29048
[root@felicio ~]#

This machine has two cores, so fewer threads appeared on the radar, and:

[root@felicio ~]# grep perf_event /proc/`pidof perf`/maps | nl
 1 7f484b922000-7f484b9a3000 rwxs 00000000 00:09 4064 anon_inode:[perf_event]
[root@felicio ~]#

Just one mmap, as now we can use just one per-cpu buffer instead of the
per-thread needed in the previous case.

For global profiling:

[root@felicio ~]# perf record -F 50000 -a
^C[ perf record: Woken up 26 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 7.128 MB perf.data (~311412 samples) ]

[root@felicio ~]# grep perf_event /proc/`pidof perf`/maps | nl
     1 7fb49b435000-7fb49b4b6000 rwxs 00000000 00:09 4064                       anon_inode:[perf_event]

[root@felicio ~]#

It uses per-cpu buffers.

For just one thread:

[root@felicio ~]# perf record -F 50000 --tid 26148
^C[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
