perf: Fix off-by-one stack buffer overflow in kallsyms__parse()
In kallsyms__parse(), the loop reading symbol names iterates with i < sizeof(symbol_name), which allows i to reach sizeof(symbol_name) upon loop exit. The subsequent symbol_name[i] = '\0' then writes one byte past the end of the stack-allocated symbol_name[] array. Fix this by changing the loop bound to KSYM_NAME_LEN, so the null terminator always lands within the array. The overflow is triggerable by a kallsyms entry with a symbol name of KSYM_NAME_LEN+1 or more characters (e.g., long Rust mangled names or a malicious /proc/kallsyms).
