perf evsel: Do not access outside hw cache name arrays

Browse Source 
We have to check if the values are >= *_MAX, not just >, fix it.

From the bugzilla report:

''In file /tools/perf/util/evsel.c  function __perf_evsel__hw_cache_name
it appears that there is a bug that reads beyond the end of the buffer.
The statement "if (type > PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_MAX)" allows type to be
equal to the maximum value. Later, when statement "if
(!perf_evsel__is_cache_op_valid(type, op))" is executed, the function
can access array perf_evsel__hw_cache_stat[type] beyond the end of the
buffer.

It appears to me that the statement "if (type > PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_MAX)"
should be "if (type >= PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_MAX)"

Bug found with Coverity and manual code review. No attempts were made to
execute the code with a maximum type value.''

Committer note:

Testing it:

  $ perf record -e $(echo $(perf list cache | cut -d \[ -f1) | sed 's/ /,/g') usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 16 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.023 MB perf.data (34 samples) ]
