This is just so that we can iterate each event's map
independently.

Well it's more complicated because evlist->all_cpus doesn't exist.
The exists evlist->cpus cannot be used (I tried that)
I also don't think we have an existing function to merge
two maps, so that would need to be added to create it.
Just using ->cpu_index is a much simpler change.
