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.
