Jiri Olsa a65cb4b9f8 perf evlist: Fix perf_evlist__mmap_read event overflow
The perf_evlist__mmap_read used 'union perf_event' as a placeholder for
event crossing the mmap boundary.

This is ok for sample shorter than ~PATH_MAX. However we could grow up
to the maximum sample size which is 16 bits max.

I hit this overflow issue when using 'perf top -G dwarf' which produces
sample with the size around 8192 bytes.  We could configure any valid
sample size here using: '-G dwarf,size'.

Using array with sample max size instead for the event placeholder. Also
adding another safe check for the dynamic size of the user stack.

TODO: The 'struct perf_mmap' is quite big now, maybe we could use some
lazy allocation for event_copy size.
