The fix looks good to me:

Acked-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com>

Does this need to be CC'd to stable? What does perf_pmu_migrate_context
do when passed a target >= nr_cpus?

The original bug seems to have been copied over from arm-cci.c, which
will need the same fix. That appears to be my fault -- I'd mostly been
following the x86 uncore PMU drivers, but they figure out the target CPU
in a different way for which -1 is a sane error case.

I'll spin a patch for arm-cci.c momentarily.

Thanks,
Mark.
