perf affinity: Fix out of bound access to "sched_cpus" mask

Browse Source 
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. Consider raising MAX_NR_CPUS

   Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 12323431':
