The perf_evlist__mmap_read used 'union perf_event'
as a placeholder for event crossing the mmap boundary.

This is ok for sample shorter than ~PATH_MAX. However
we could grow up to the maximum sample size which is
16 bits max.

I hit this overflow issue when using 'perf top -G dwarf'
which produces sample with the size around 8192 bytes.
We could configure any valid sample size here using:
'-G dwarf,size'.

Using array with sample max size instead for the event
placeholder. Also adding another safe check for the
dynamic size of the user stack.

TODO: The 'struct perf_mmap' is quite big now, maybe we
could use some lazy allocation for event_copy size.
