Subject: [PATCH] perf report TUI: Fix segmentation fault in perf_evsel__hists_browse()

The segmentation fault can be reproduced as following steps:
1) Executing perf report in tui.
2) Typing '/xxxxx' to filter the symbol to get nothing matched.
3) Pressing enter with no entry selected.
Then it will report a segmentation fault.

It is caused by the lack of check of browser->he_selection when
accessing it's member res_samples in perf_evsel__hists_browse().

These processes are meaningful for specified samples, so we can
skip these when nothing is selected.

Fixes: 4968ac8fb7c3 ("perf report: Implement browsing of individual samples")
