The affinity code in "affinity_set" function access array
named "sched_cpus". The size for this array is allocated in
affinity_setup function which is nothing but value from
get_cpu_set_size. This is used to contain the cpumask value
for each cpu. While setting bit for each cpu, it calls
"set_bit" function which access index in sched_cpus array.
If we provide a command-line option to -C which is more than
the number of CPU's present in the system, the set_bit could
access an array member which is out-of the array size. This
is because currently, there is no boundary check for the CPU.
This will result in seg fault:

<<>>
 ./perf stat -C 12323431 ls
Perf can support 2048 CPUs. Consider raising MAX_NR_CPUS
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
<<>>

Fix this by adding boundary check for the array.

After the fix from powerpc system:

<<>>
./perf stat -C 12323431 ls 1>out
Perf can support 2048 CPUs. Consider raising MAX_NR_CPUS

 Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 12323431':

   <not supported> msec cpu-clock
   <not supported>      context-switches
   <not supported>      cpu-migrations

Changelog:
 From v1 -> v2:
 Addressed review comment from Jiri Olsa by changing condition
 check to directly use "cpu_set_size * 8" for comparing with the
 cpu number.
