Subject: [PATCH 2/2] perf report: Don't add to histogram when there is no thread found

thread__find_map() chooses to exit without assigning a thread to the
addr_location in some scenarios, for example when there are samples from
a guest and perf_guest == false. This results in a segfault when adding
to the histogram because it uses unguarded accesses to the thread member
of the addr_location.

Fix it by exiting early if no thread is set. This fixes the referenced
commit when using perf report with Coresight but probably isn't
exclusive to that case.

Fixes: 8d3031d39fe8 ("perf cs-etm: Track exception level")
