[PATCH 2/2] perf tools: Prevent crossing ordered events max_alloc_size

[Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>]

Stephane reported possible issue in the ordered
events code, which could lead to allocating more
memory than guarded by max_alloc_size.

He also suggested the fix to properly check that
the new size is below the max_alloc_size limit.
