[PATCH v1] perf sched stats: Fix segmentation faults in diff mode

[Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>]

Address several segmentation fault vectors in `perf sched stats diff`:

1. When processing invalid or empty data files, the CPU domain maps may
   be NULL. Added NULL checks for `cd_map1` and `cd_map2` in
   `show_schedstat_data()` to fail gracefully.

2. When files contain a different number of CPUs or domains, the parallel
   list iteration in `show_schedstat_data()` could wrap around the list
   heads and dereference invalid memory. Added `list_is_last` checks
   to safely terminate iteration at the end of each list.

3. When summarizing CPU statistics in `get_all_cpu_stats()`, parallel list
   iteration over domains could similarly wrap around if a CPU has more
   domains than the first CPU. Added `list_is_last` check to prevent this.

4. Added bounds checks for `cs1->cpu` and `cs2->cpu` against `nr1` and
   `nr2` (passed from `env->nr_cpus_avail`) to prevent out-of-bounds
   reads from `cd_map1` and `cd_map2` when processing data from machines
   with different CPU configurations.

5. Added NULL checks for `cd_info1` and `cd_info2` in `show_schedstat_data()`
   to prevent crashes when a CPU has samples in the data file but no
   corresponding domain info in the header (which leaves the map entry NULL).

6. Added NULL checks for `dinfo1` and `dinfo2` in `show_schedstat_data()`
   to prevent crashes when a domain is present in the list but has no
   corresponding info in the CPU domain map (which leaves the entry NULL).

7. Zero-initialized the `perf_data` array in `perf_sched__schedstat_diff()`
   to prevent stack garbage from causing `perf_data_file__fd()` to attempt
   to use a NULL `fptr` when `use_stdio` happened to be non-zero.
