From: Paul Moses <p@1g4.org>

Per-thread mmap buffers use CPU -1 to mean any CPU. Combining --per-thread
with --affinity=cpu passes this value to __set_bit() when constructing the
reader affinity mask, causing an out-of-bounds bitmap access and SIGSEGV.

Only construct and apply reader affinity masks for buffers with a
nonnegative CPU. Skip the reader-side bitmap operations as well, since
per-thread buffers no longer allocate an affinity mask.
