[PATCH] 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
nodes in the system.
