[ Upstream commit ceb75476db ]
Based on the following report from Smatch, fix the potential
NULL pointer dereference check.
tools/perf/ui/browsers/hists.c:641
hist_browser__run() error: we previously assumed 'hbt' could be
null (see line 625)
tools/perf/ui/browsers/hists.c:3088
perf_evsel__hists_browse() error: we previously assumed
'browser->he_selection' could be null (see line 2902)
tools/perf/ui/browsers/hists.c:3272
perf_evsel_menu__run() error: we previously assumed 'hbt' could be
null (see line 3260)
This patch firstly validating the pointers before access them, so can
fix potential NULL pointer dereference.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
