Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] perf: RISC-V: Limit the number of counters returned from SBI

Perf gets the number of supported counters from SBI. If it happens that
the number of returned counters more than RISCV_MAX_COUNTERS the code
trusts it. It does not lead to an immediate problem but can potentially
lead to it. Prevent getting more than RISCV_MAX_COUNTERS from SBI.
