[PATCH] RISC-V: KVM: Fix out-of-bounds by 1

The array kvpmu->pmc is defined as:

struct kvm_pmc pmc[RISCV_KVM_MAX_COUNTERS];

So, accessing it with index RISCV_KVM_MAX_COUNTERS would be
out-of-bounds by 1.

Change index check from > to >=.

Detected by Smatch:
arch/riscv/kvm/vcpu_pmu.c:528 kvm_riscv_vcpu_pmu_ctr_info() error:
buffer overflow 'kvpmu->pmc' 64 <= 64

Fixes: 8f0153ecd3bf1 ("RISC-V: KVM: Add skeleton support for perf")
