perf: Validate cpu early in perf_event_alloc()
Starting from perf_event_alloc()->perf_init_event(), the kernel assumes that event->cpu is either -1 or the valid CPU number. Change perf_event_alloc() to validate this argument early. This also means we can remove the similar check in find_get_context().
