perf python: Fix pyrf_evlist__read_on_cpu() interface
Jaroslav reported errors from valgrind over perf python script:

The reason for this is in the python interface, that allows a script to
pass arbitrary cpu number, which is then used to access struct
perf_evlist::mmap array. That's obviously wrong and works only when if
all cpus are available and fails if some cpu is missing, like in the
example above.
This patch makes pyrf_evlist__read_on_cpu() search the evlist's maps
array for the proper map to access.
It's linear search at the moment. Based on the way how is the
read_on_cpu used, I don't think we need to be fast in here. But we
could add some hash in the middle to make it fast/er.
We don't allow python interface to set write_backward event attribute,
so it's safe to check only evlist's mmaps.
