When perf stat is called with event groups and the repeat option,
a segfault occurs because the cpu ids are stored on each iteration
of the repeat, when they should only be stored on the first iteration,
which causes a buffer overflow.
This can be replicated by running (from the tip directory):
make -C tools/perf
then running:
tools/perf/perf stat -e '{cycles,instructions}' -r 10 ls
Since run_idx keeps track of the current iteration of the repeat,
only storing the cpu ids on the first iteration (when run_idx < 1)
fixes this issue.
