Subject: [PATCH 4/5] perf session: Fix perf_session__peek_event()

perf_session__peek_event() generally leverages there
being a single mmap of the perf.data file, however on
32-bit platforms when there is more that 32MiB of
data, then there are multiple mmaps, so
perf_session__peek_event() reads from the file.

In that case a couple of bugs were exposed (note
how the seg. fault appears with >32M of data):

   $ perf record --per-thread -e intel_bts// ../rtit-tests/loopy 1000000
   [ perf record: Woken up 13 times to write data ]
   [ perf record: Captured and wrote 24.568 MB perf.data ]
   $ perf script > /dev/null
   $ perf record --per-thread -e intel_bts// ../rtit-tests/loopy 10000000
   [ perf record: Woken up 136 times to write data ]
   [ perf record: Captured and wrote 270.794 MB perf.data ]
   $ perf script > /dev/null
   Segmentation fault (core dumped)

The wrong address was being passed to the readn() function and
the buffer size was not being checked.
