Subject: [PATCH v1] perf evsel: Avoid segv if delete is called on NULL

Seen in "perf stat --bpf-counters --for-each-cgroup test" running in a
container:

libbpf: Failed to bump RLIMIT_MEMLOCK (err = -1), you might need to do it explicitly!
libbpf: Error in bpf_object__probe_loading():Operation not permitted(1). Couldn't load trivial BPF program. Make sure your kernel supports BPF (CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL=y) and/or that RLIMIT_MEMLOCK is set to big enough value.
libbpf: failed to load object 'bperf_cgroup_bpf'
libbpf: failed to load BPF skeleton 'bperf_cgroup_bpf': -1
Failed to load cgroup skeleton
