Subject: [PATCH] perf: Move debug initialization earlier

This avoids segfaults during option handlers that use pr_err. For
example, "perf --debug nopager list" segfaults before this change.

Fixes: 8abceacff87d (perf debug: Add debug_set_file function)
Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@...gle.com>
