lib: sbi_pmu: fix integer overflow in pmu_ctr_idx_validate

pmu_ctr_idx_validate() checks whether counter indices are in range
using cbase + sbi_fls(cmask) < total_ctrs.  Both operands are unsigned
long, so a crafted cbase close to ULONG_MAX causes the addition to wrap
around to a small value that passes the comparison.

Once validation is bypassed, sbi_pmu_ctr_cfg_match() with the
SKIP_MATCH flag uses the overflowed index directly as an array subscript
into phs->active_events[], producing an out-of-bounds read in M-mode.
Through the firmware-event code path, the same overflowed index reaches
fw_counters_data[] and fw_counters_started, giving an attacker OOB
write-zero and OOB bit-set primitives in M-mode memory.

Fix pmu_ctr_idx_validate() by checking for unsigned overflow before the
comparison, and add a secondary bounds check on cidx_first in the
SKIP_MATCH path so that even if validation is somehow bypassed in the
future, the array access remains bounded.
