perf/core: Fix crash when using HW tracing kernel filters
In function perf_event_parse_addr_filter(), the path::dentry of each struct
perf_addr_filter is left unassigned (as it should be) when the pattern
being parsed is related to kernel space. But in function
perf_addr_filter_match() the same dentries are given to d_inode() where
the value is not expected to be NULL, resulting in the following splat:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000058

lr : perf_event_mmap+0x2c8/0x5a0

This patch is fixing the problem by introducing a new check in function
perf_addr_filter_match() to see if the filter's dentry is NULL.
