How is this different from the existing code:
https://web.git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools-next.git/tree/tools/lib/perf/cpumap.c?h=perf-tools-next#n423
```
        tmp_len = __perf_cpu_map__nr(*orig) + __perf_cpu_map__nr(other);
        tmp_cpus = malloc(tmp_len * sizeof(struct perf_cpu));
        if (!tmp_cpus)
                return -ENOMEM;
```
