Subject: [PATCH v5 1/8] perf tools: Check 'base' pointer before checking refcnt when put a mmap

evlist->mmap[i]->refcnt could be 0 if an evlist has no evsel or all
evsels don't match the evlist during mmap. For example, when all evsels
are overwritable but the evlist itself is normal. To avoid crashing,
perf should check 'base' pointer before checking refcnt, and raise bug
only when base is not NULL.
