The branch snapshot callback used by bpf_get_branch_snapshot() copies
up to x86_pmu.lbr_nr entries from cpuc->lbr_entries[], even when the
last LBR read kept fewer branches. The entries past lbr_stack.nr are
invalid, but they end up reaching BPF programs.
Limit copying to lbr_stack.nr entries and also reset lbr_stack.nr when
amd_pmu_lbr_read() skips reading the registers, so that a stale count
is never reused.
Fixes: a4d18112e531 ("perf/x86/amd: Support capturing LBR from software events")
