[PATCH v14 12/19] perf, tools: Add override support for event list CPUID

From: Andi Kleen <ak at linux.intel.com>

Add a PERF_CPUID variable to override the CPUID of the current CPU (within
the current architecture). This is useful for testing, so that all event
lists can be tested on a single system.

v2: Fix double free in earlier version.
    Print actual CPUID being used with verbose option.
