The cpu map is a map of valid 3rd arguments to perf_event_open, so -1
means all CPUs which is per-thread by necessity.

Yes it is executed.  I put back the code that was there before ae4f8ae16a07
("libperf evlist: Allow mixing per-thread and per-cpu mmaps"), which uses
perf_cpu_map__empty() which only checks the first entry is -1:

bool perf_cpu_map__empty(const struct perf_cpu_map *map)
{
	return map ? map->map[0].cpu == -1 : true;
}

But there can be more CPUs in the map, so perf_cpu_map__empty()
returns true for the per-thread case, as desired, even if there
are also system-wide CPUs.

I guess perf_cpu_map__empty() needs renaming.
