The dummy event is mainly used for mmap, the TIME sample is only needed
for per-cpu case so that the perf tool can rely on the correct timing
for parsing symbols.  And the CPU sample is useless for mmap.

The BRANCH_STACK sample bit will be always reset for the dummy event in
the function evsel__config(), so don't need to repeatedly reset it for
Arm SPE specific.

So this patch only enables TIME sample for per-cpu mmap.
