perf: RISC-V: fix access beyond allocated array

SBI firmware should report total number of firmware and hardware counters
including unused ones or special ones. In this case the kernel doesn't need
to make any assumptions about gaps in reported counters, e.g. excluded timer
counter. That was fixed in OpenSBI v1.1 by commit 3f66465fb6bf ("lib: pmu:
allow to use the highest available counter"). This kernel patch has no effect
if SBI firmware behaves correctly. However it eliminates access beyond the
allocated pmu_ctr_list if the kernel is used with OpenSBI older than v1.1.
