perf header: Validate bitmap size before allocating in do_read_bitmap()
do_read_bitmap() reads a u64 bit count from the file and passes it to bitmap_zalloc() without checking it against the remaining section size. A crafted perf.data could trigger a large allocation that would only fail later when the per-element reads exceed section bounds. Additionally, bitmap_zalloc() takes an int parameter, so a crafted size with bits set above bit 31 (e.g. 0x100000040) would pass the section bounds check but truncate when passed to bitmap_zalloc(), allocating a much smaller buffer than the subsequent read loop expects. Reject size values that exceed INT_MAX, and check that the data needed (BITS_TO_U64(size) u64 values) fits in the remaining section before allocating. Switch from bitmap_zalloc() to calloc() of u64 units so the allocation size matches the u64 read/write granularity and avoids unsigned long vs u64 mismatch on 32-bit architectures. Fix do_write_bitmap() to use memcpy to read u64-sized chunks from the unsigned long bitmap, preventing out-of-bounds reads on 32-bit systems where sizeof(unsigned long) is 4 but the bitmap is stored in u64 units. Fix process_mem_topology() minimum section size: the check used nr * 2 * sizeof(u64) per node, but do_read_bitmap() reads an additional u64 for the bitmap size, so the minimum is 3 * sizeof(u64). Fix memory leak in process_mem_topology() error paths: replace free(nodes) with memory_node__delete_nodes() to free per-node bitmaps allocated by do_read_bitmap(). Currently used by process_mem_topology() for HEADER_MEM_TOPOLOGY.
