perf tests record: Update testcase to fix usage of affinity for machines with #CPUs > 1K

The perf record testcase fails on systems with more than 1K CPUs.

Testcase: perf test -vv "PERF_RECORD_* events & perf_sample fields"

  PERF_RECORD_* events & perf_sample fields                       :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 272482
  sched_getaffinity: Invalid argument
  sched__get_first_possible_cpu: Invalid argument
  test child finished with -1
  ---- end ----
  PERF_RECORD_* events & perf_sample fields: FAILED!

sched__get_first_possible_cpu uses "sched_getaffinity" to get the
cpumask and this call is returning EINVAL (Invalid argument).

This happens because the default mask size in glibc is 1024.

To overcome this 1024 CPUs mask size limitation of cpu_set_t, change the
mask size using the CPU_*_S macros ie, use CPU_ALLOC to allocate
cpumask, CPU_ALLOC_SIZE for size.

Same fix needed for mask which is used to setaffinity so that mask size
is large enough to represent number of possible CPU's in the system.
