[PATCH 5/5] perf arm-spe: Reject zero nr_cpu in metadata to prevent division by zero

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@kernel.org>]

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

arm_spe__alloc_metadata() reads nr_cpu from the auxtrace_info priv
array without validation.  When a crafted perf.data provides nr_cpu=0,
the per_cpu_sz calculation divides by zero:

  per_cpu_sz = (metadata_size - (hdr_sz * sizeof(u64))) / (*nr_cpu);

Reject nr_cpu <= 0 early, before the division.  The caller already
treats NULL return with metadata_ver != 1 as a parse failure.

Fixes: e52abceb4b6c2723 ("perf arm-spe: Dump metadata with version 2")
