perf tests: Fix out of bounds memory access

The test case 'Read backward ring buffer' failed on 32-bit architectures
which were found by LKFT perf testing.  The test failed on arm32 x15
device, qemu_arm32, qemu_i386, and found intermittent failure on i386;
the failure log is as below:

  50: Read backward ring buffer                  :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 510
  Using CPUID GenuineIntel-6-9E-9
  mmap size 1052672B
  mmap size 8192B
  Finished reading overwrite ring buffer: rewind
  free(): invalid next size (fast)
  test child interrupted
  ---- end ----
  Read backward ring buffer: FAILED!

The log hints there have issue for memory usage, thus free() reports
error 'invalid next size' and directly exit for the case.  Finally, this
issue is root caused as out of bounds memory access for the data array
'evsel->id'.

The backward ring buffer test invokes do_test() twice.  'evsel->id' is
allocated at the first call with the flow:

  test__backward_ring_buffer()
    `-> do_test()
	  `-> evlist__mmap()
	        `-> evlist__mmap_ex()
	              `-> perf_evsel__alloc_id()

So 'evsel->id' is allocated with one item, and it will be used in
function perf_evlist__id_add():

   evsel->id[0] = id
   evsel->ids   = 1

At the second call for do_test(), it skips to initialize 'evsel->id'
and reuses the array which is allocated in the first call.  But
'evsel->ids' contains the stale value.  Thus:

   evsel->id[1] = id    -> out of bound access
   evsel->ids   = 2

To fix this issue, we will use evlist__open() and evlist__close() pair
functions to prepare and cleanup context for evlist; so 'evsel->id' and
'evsel->ids' can be initialized properly when invoke do_test() and avoid
the out of bounds memory access.
