perf dso: Replace assert with runtime check in dso__read_symbol()

dso__read_symbol() asserts that len <= jited_prog_len, where len comes
from sym->end - sym->start (parsed from PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL in
perf.data).  Both values originate from untrusted file input.

With NDEBUG (production builds), the assert is compiled out, allowing
an out-of-bounds heap read when the BPF program buffer is accessed.
Without NDEBUG, a crafted perf.data crashes perf with an assertion
failure.

Replace the assert with a runtime bounds check that returns NULL with
an appropriate error code, matching the existing error handling
pattern in this function.
