perf/x86/intel/bts: Make sure debug store is valid
Since commit 4d4c47412464 ("perf/x86/intel/bts: Fix BTS PMI detection") my box goes boom on boot: | .... node #0, CPUs: #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 | BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000018 | IP: [<ffffffff8100c463>] intel_bts_interrupt+0x43/0x130 | Call Trace: | <NMI> d [<ffffffff8100b341>] intel_pmu_handle_irq+0x51/0x4b0 | [<ffffffff81004d47>] perf_event_nmi_handler+0x27/0x40 This happens because the code introduced in this commit dereferences the debug store pointer unconditionally. The debug store is not guaranteed to be available, so a NULL pointer check as on other places is required.
