Ian Rogers 10df481fda perf header: Fail read if header sections overlap
Buggy perf.data files can have the attributes and data
overlapping.

For example, when processing pipe data the attributes aren't known and
so file offset header calculations can consider them not present.

Later this can cause the attributes to overwrite the data. This can be
seen in:

  $ perf record -o - true > a.data
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.059 MB - ]
  $ perf inject -i a.data -o b.data
  $ perf report --stats -i b.data
  0x68 [0]: failed to process type: 510379 [Invalid argument]
  Error:
  failed to process sample
  $

This change makes reading the corrupt file fail:

  $ perf report --stats -i b.data
  Perf file header corrupt: Attributes and data overlap
  incompatible file format (rerun with -v to learn more)
  $

Which is more informative.
