Ian Rogers 0df6ade711 perf evlist: Rename cpus to user_requested_cpus
evlist contains cpus and all_cpus. all_cpus is the union of the cpu maps
of all evsels.

For non-task targets, cpus is set to be cpus requested from the command
line, defaulting to all online cpus if no cpus are specified.

For an uncore event, all_cpus may be just CPU 0 or every online CPU.

This causes all_cpus to have fewer values than the cpus variable which
is confusing given the 'all' in the name.

To try to make the behavior clearer, rename cpus to user_requested_cpus
and add comments on the two struct variables.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
