[PATCH v2 4/6] lib: sbi_pmu: fix integer overflow and zero-address in event_get_info

sbi_pmu_event_get_info() computes the shared memory size as
num_events * sizeof(struct sbi_pmu_event_info) without checking for
integer overflow. A sufficiently large num_events causes the product to
wrap around, making the domain check pass on a truncated size while the
loop iterates with the original count.

This allows S-mode to trigger out-of-bounds writes in M-mode memory.
A zero physical address is also not rejected, which would cause M-mode
to write to address 0 and hang the hart.

Add bounds checking on num_events before the multiplication and reject
zero shmem addresses early.
