Subject: [PATCH] perf: Fix crash due to null pointer dereference when iterating cpu map

From: He Zhe <zhe.he@...driver.com>

NULL pointer may be passed to perf_cpu_map__cpu and then cause the
following crash.

perf ftrace -G start_kernel ls
failed to set tracing filters

Add null pointer check for iteration and NULL assignment for all_cpus.
And there is no need to iterate if there is no cpus.
