perf report: Fix memory corruption in --branch-history mode --branch-history
[ Upstream commit e3ebaa465136ecfedf9c6f4671df02bf625f8125 ]

For the cumulative output, we allocate the he_cache array based on the
--max-stack option value and populate it with data from 'callchain_cursor'.
The --max-stack option value does not ensure now the limit for number of
callchain_cursor nodes, so the cumulative iter code will allocate smaller array
than it's actually needed and cause above corruption.
I think the --max-stack limit does not apply here anyway, because we add
callchain data as normal hist entries, while the --max-stack control the limit
of single entry callchain depth.
Using the callchain_cursor.nr as he_cache array count to fix this. Also
removing struct hist_entry_iter::max_stack, because there's no longer any use
for it.
We need more fixes to ensure that the branch stack code follows properly the
logic of --max-stack, which is not the case at the moment.
