perf top: Do show usage message when failing to create cpu/thread maps
This is necessary to get rid of the browser dependency from usage_with_options() and its friends. Because we validate the targets which are used to create the cpu/thread maps and inform the user about any override performed via the chosen UI, we don't need to call the usage routine for that.
