[PATCH] powerpc/perf: Return accordingly on invalid chip-id in

Nest hardware counter memory resides in a per-chip reserve-memory.
During nest_imc_event_init(), chip-id of the event-cpu is considered to
calculate the base memory addresss for that cpu. Return, proper error
condition if the chip_id calculated is invalid.
