Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: fix off-by-one comparison on maximum code

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

The check for the maximum code is off-by-one; the current
comparison of a code that is INTEL_PT_ERR_MAX will cause the
strlcpy to perform an out of bounds array access on the
intel_pt_err_msgs array. Fix this with a >= comparison.
