Subject: [PATCH] perf: prevent overflow in size calculation

A large enough symbol size causes an overflow in the size parameter to the
histogram allocation, leading to a segfault in symbol__inc_addr_samples later
on when this histogram is accessed.

In the case of being called via perf-report, this returns back and
gracefully ignores the sample, eventually ignoring the chained return
value of perf_session_deliver_event in flush_sample_queue.
