perf intel-bts: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference found by the smatch tool
Based on the following report from Smatch, fix the potential NULL pointer dereference check. tools/perf/util/intel-bts.c:898 intel_bts_process_auxtrace_info() error: we previously assumed 'session->itrace_synth_opts' could be null (see line 894) tools/perf/util/intel-bts.c:899 intel_bts_process_auxtrace_info() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'session->itrace_synth_opts' (see line 898) tools/perf/util/intel-bts.c 894 if (session->itrace_synth_opts && session->itrace_synth_opts->set) { 895 bts->synth_opts = *session->itrace_synth_opts; 896 } else { 897 itrace_synth_opts__set_default(&bts->synth_opts, 898 session->itrace_synth_opts->default_no_sample); ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 899 if (session->itrace_synth_opts) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 900 bts->synth_opts.thread_stack = 901 session->itrace_synth_opts->thread_stack; 902 } 'session->itrace_synth_opts' is impossible to be a NULL pointer in intel_bts_process_auxtrace_info(), thus this patch removes the NULL test for 'session->itrace_synth_opts'.
