Subject: [PATCHv5] perf tool: fix dereferencing NULL al->maps

With 0dd5041c9a0e ("perf addr_location: Add init/exit/copy functions"),
when cpumode is 3 (macro PERF_RECORD_MISC_HYPERVISOR),
thread__find_map() could return with al->maps being NULL.

The path below could add a callchain_cursor_node with NULL ms.maps.

add_callchain_ip()
  thread__find_symbol(.., &al)
    thread__find_map(.., &al)   // al->maps becomes NULL
  ms.maps = maps__get(al.maps)
  callchain_cursor_append(..., &ms, ...)
    node->ms.maps = maps__get(ms->maps)

Then the path below would dereference NULL maps and get segfault.

fill_callchain_info()
  maps__machine(node->ms.maps);

Fix it by checking if maps is NULL in fill_callchain_info().
