perf: Fix sample_max_stack maximum check
The syzbot hit KASAN bug in perf_callchain_store having the entry stored
behind the allocated bounds [1].
We miss the sample_max_stack check for the initial event that allocates
callchain buffers. This missing check allows to create an event with
sample_max_stack value bigger than the global sysctl maximum:
# sysctl -a | grep perf_event_max_stack
kernel.perf_event_max_stack = 127
# perf record -vv -C 1 -e cycles/max-stack=256/ kill
...
perf_event_attr:
size 112
...
sample_max_stack 256
------------------------------------------------------------
sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 1 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 4
Note the '-C 1', which forces perf record to create just single event.
Otherwise it opens event for every cpu, then the sample_max_stack check
fails on the second event and all's fine.
The fix is to run the sample_max_stack check also for the first event
with callchains.
