Subject: perf/core: Fix crash in perf_event_read()

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

commit 451d24d1e5f40bad000fa9abe36ddb16fc9928cb upstream.

Alexei had his box explode because doing read() on a package
(rapl/uncore) event that isn't currently scheduled in ends up doing an
out-of-bounds load.

Rework the code to more explicitly deal with event->oncpu being -1.
