libbpf: Fix OOB read in btf_dump_get_bitfield_value

When dumping bitfield data, btf_dump_get_bitfield_value() reads data
based on the underlying type's size (t->size). However, it does not
verify that the provided data buffer (data_sz) is large enough to
contain these bytes.

If btf_dump__dump_type_data() is called with a buffer smaller than
the type's size, this leads to an out-of-bounds read. This was
confirmed by AddressSanitizer in the linked issue.

Fix this by ensuring we do not read past the provided data_sz limit.
