When the target is a pid, not started by 'perf stat' we need to disable
the events, and in that case there is no need to setup affinities as we
use a dummy CPU map, with just one entry set to -1.

So stop doing it to avoid this needless call to sched_getaffinity():

  # strace -ke sched_getaffinity perf stat -e cycles -p 241957 sleep 1
  <SNIP>
  sched_getaffinity(0, 512, [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31]) = 8
