perf sched: Add -C option to measure on a specific CPU

To refresh, trying to sched record only one CPU results in bogus
latencies as below.

I fixed^Wmade it stop doing the bad thing today, by
following task migration events properly.

Before:

  marge:/root/tmp # taskset -c 1 perf sched record -C 0 -- sleep 10
  marge:/root/tmp # perf sched lat

The 'Maximum delay ms' results are now sane.
