perf tools: Fix int16_t truncation of max_cpu_num in set_max_cpu_num()

set_max_cpu_num() assigns the sysfs "possible" CPU count to
max_cpu_num.cpu which is int16_t (struct perf_cpu).  On systems
with >32767 possible CPUs the value silently truncates, potentially
wrapping negative.  This causes cpunode_map to be underallocated
and subsequent cpu__get_node() calls to read out of bounds.

The matching check for max_present_cpu_num was added by commit
c760174401 ("perf cpumap: Reduce cpu size from int to int16_t")
but max_cpu_num was missed.  Add the same INT16_MAX guard.
