[PATCH v2] powerpc/perf: Fix loop exit condition in nest_imc_event_init

The data structure (i.e struct imc_mem_info) to hold the memory address
information for nest imc units is allocated based on the number of nodes
in the system.

nest_imc_event_init() traverse this struct array to calculate the memory
base address for the event-cpu. If we fail to find a match for the event
cpu's chip-id in imc_mem_info struct array, then the do-while loop will
iterate until we crash.

Fix this by changing the loop exit condition based on the number of 
non zero vbase elements in the array, since the allocation is done for
nr_chips + 1.
