perf affinity: Fix out of bound access to "sched_cpus" mask
The affinity code in "affinity_set" function access array named "sched_cpus". The size for this array is allocated in affinity_setup function which is nothing but value from get_cpu_set_size. This is used to contain the cpumask value for each cpu. While setting bit for each cpu, it calls "set_bit" function which access index in sched_cpus array. If we provide a command-line option to -C which is more than the number of CPU's present in the system, the set_bit could access an array member which is out-of the array size. This is because currently, there is no boundary check for the CPU. This will result in seg fault: <<>> ./perf stat -C 12323431 ls Perf can support 2048 CPUs. Consider raising MAX_NR_CPUS Segmentation fault (core dumped) <<>> Fix this by adding boundary check for the array. After the fix from powerpc system: <<>> ./perf stat -C 12323431 ls 1>out Perf can support 2048 CPUs.
