For better support for perf diff, it would be useful to add --cpu filter
option.
Multiple CPUs can be provided as a comma-separated list with no space: 0,1.
Ranges of CPUs are specified with -: 0-2. Default is to report samples on
all CPUs.
For example,
perf diff --cpu 0,1
It only diff the samples for CPU0 and CPU1.
