Subject: [PATCH 1/5] perf record: Fix segfault with --no-mmap-pages

Adrian reported a segfault when using --no-out-pages:
$ tools/perf/perf record -vv --no-out-pages uname
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

The same occurs with --no-mmap-pages. Fix by checking that str is non-NULL
before parsing it.
