Subject: [PATCH 5.8 202/255] powerpc/perf: Fix crashes with generic_compat_pmu & BHRB

From: Alexey Kardashevskiy <aik@...abs.ru>

commit b460b512417ae9c8b51a3bdcc09020cd6c60ff69 upstream.

The bhrb_filter_map ("The Branch History Rolling Buffer") callback is
only defined in raw CPUs' power_pmu structs. The "architected" CPUs
use generic_compat_pmu, which does not have this callback, and crashes
occur if a user tries to enable branch stack for an event.

This add a NULL pointer check for bhrb_filter_map() which behaves as
if the callback returned an error.

This does not add the same check for config_bhrb() as the only caller
checks for cpuhw->bhrb_users which remains zero if bhrb_filter_map==0.

Fixes: be80e758d0c2 ("powerpc/perf: Add generic compat mode pmu driver")
