Subject: [PATCH] perf hists browser: Fix segfault when showing callchain

When perf report on TUI shows callchain it checks first node has
siblings to determine whether it needs to print percentage value.  But
it missed a case that first node is NULL.  So sometimes it segfaults
like below:

  $ perf top -g
  perf: Segmentation fault
  -------- backtrace --------
  perf[0x4fcefb]
  /usr/lib/libc.so.6(+0x33b20)[0x7f2a35839b20]
  perf(rb_next+0x8)[0x47d3d8]

  perf(perf_evlist__tui_browse_hists+0x94)[0x4fbbf4]
  perf[0x444d10]

  /usr/lib/libc.so.6(clone+0x6d)[0x7f2a358ee5bd]

  $ addr2line -e `which perf` 0x4f6058
  /home/namhyung/project/linux/tools/perf/ui/browsers/hists.c:553

I don't know why the backtrace didn't print some symbols..
