Subject: [PATCH 06/12] perf tools: Fix segfault due to invalid kernel dso access

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@...nel.org>

Jiri reported that the commit 96d78059d6d9 ("perf tools: Make vmlinux
short name more like kallsyms short name") segfaults on perf script.

When processing kernel mmap event, it should access the 'kernel'
variable as sometimes it cannot find a matching dso from build-id table
so 'dso' might be invalid.
