perf test: "Session topology" dumps core on s390

[ Upstream commit d121109100bda84bbbb199dab97f9d56432ab235 ]

The "perf test Session topology" entry fails with core dump on s390. The root
cause is a NULL pointer dereference in function check_cpu_topology() line 76
(or line 82 without -v).

The session->header.env.cpu variable is NULL because on s390 function
process_cpu_topology() returns with error:

    socket_id number is too big.
    You may need to upgrade the perf tool.

and releases the env.cpu variable via zfree() and sets it to NULL.

Here is the gdb output:
(gdb) n
76                      pr_debug("CPU %d, core %d, socket %d\n", i,
(gdb) n

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00000000010f4d9e in check_cpu_topology (path=0x3ffffffd6c8
	"/tmp/perf-test-J6CHMa", map=0x14a1740) at tests/topology.c:76
76  pr_debug("CPU %d, core %d, socket %d\n", i,
(gdb)

Make sure the env.cpu variable is not used when its NULL.
Test for NULL pointer and return TEST_SKIP if so.

Output before:

  [root@p23lp27 perf]# ./perf test -F 39
  39: Session topology  :Segmentation fault (core dumped)
  [root@p23lp27 perf]#

Output after:

  [root@p23lp27 perf]# ./perf test -vF 39
  39: Session topology                                      :
