[PATCH 0/1] Limit the number of counter returned from SBI.

Perf relies on reliability of SBI. If sth goes wrong the code trusts it.
It happened due to some debug process that I passed more than
RISCV_MAX_COUNTERS to perf from SBI. At the first glance there were
bloating of kalloced variable pmu_ctr_list and counter mask recycle write.
May be there were some other effects. But anyway it is better to add
extra check.
