s390/cpum_cf: Fix endless loop in CF_DIAG event stop
Event CF_DIAG reads out complete counter sets using stcctm instruction. This is done at event start time when the process starts execution and at event stop time when the process is removed from the CPU. During removal the difference of each counter in the counter sets is calculated and saved as raw data in the ring buffer. This works fine unless the number of counters in a counter set is zero. This may happen for the extended counter set. This set is machine specific and the size of the counter set can be zero even when extended counter set is authorized for read access. This case is not handled. cfdiag_diffctr() checks authorization of the extended counter set. If true the functions assumes the extended counter set has been saved in a data buffer. However this is not the case, cfdiag_getctrset() does not save a counter set with counter set size of zero. This mismatch causes an endless loop in the counter set readout during event stop handling. The calculation of the difference of the counters in each counter now verifies the size of the counter set is non-zero. A counter set with size zero is skipped.
