hwpmc_intel: assert for correct nclasses value

Description

hwpmc_intel: assert for correct nclasses value

This variable is set based on the exact CPU model detected. If this
value is set too small, it could lead to a NULL-dereference from an
improperly initialized pmc_rowindex_to_classdep array.

Though it has been fixed, this was previously the case for Broadwell.
Add two asserts to catch this in DEBUG kernels, as it represents a
configuration error that may be hard to uncover otherwise.
