libperf cpumap: Ensure empty cpumap is NULL from alloc

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2107336

commit dcd45b3 upstream.

Potential corner cases could cause a cpumap to be allocated with size
0, but an empty cpumap should be represented as NULL. Add a path in
perf_cpu_map__alloc() to ensure this.
