coresight: ultrasoc-smb: Fix OOB write in smb_sync_perf_buffer()
When the SMB sink is used as a perf AUX sink, smb_update_buffer() calls
smb_sync_perf_buffer() to copy hardware trace data into the perf AUX ring
buffer pages. It derives pg_idx = head >> PAGE_SHIFT from @head, which is
handle->head, and indexes dst_pages[pg_idx]. The pg_idx %= nr_pages
normalization is only applied after the first loop iteration.
This leaves the initial page index underived from the buffer size, which
can result in an out-of-bounds write past dst_pages[] when head exceeds
the AUX buffer size.
Normalize head modulo the AUX buffer size before deriving the page index
and offset, mirroring tmc_etr_sync_perf_buffer().
