[PATCH v3] perf header: Validate build_id filename length to prevent buffer overflow

[SeungJu Cheon]

The build_id parsing functions calculate a filename length from the
event header size and read directly into a stack buffer of PATH_MAX
bytes without bounds checking. A malformed perf.data file with a
crafted header.size can cause the length to be negative or exceed
PATH_MAX, resulting in a stack buffer overflow.

Add bounds checking for the filename length in both
perf_header__read_build_ids() and the ABI quirk variant. Print a
warning message when invalid length is detected.
