Subject: [PATCH 5.4 143/191] perf callchain: Fix segfault in thread__resolve_callchain_sample()

From: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@...el.com>

commit aceb98261ea7d9fe38f9c140c5531f0b13623832 upstream.

Do not dereference 'chain' when it is NULL.

  $ perf record -e intel_pt//u -e branch-misses:u uname
  $ perf report --itrace=l --branch-history
  perf: Segmentation fault
