What tree is this patch for? Please take a look at tip/master, there are
patches there that should address this issue, please report if not.

Namely, hey, it was already merged by Linus, see:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/log/tools

There is a set of very small patches by Adrian Hunter fixing the setting
of evsel->{cpus,threads}

Can you check with Linus's git repo? I bet you tried with 4.3-rc1?
