perf tests: Avoid raising SEGV using an obvious NULL dereference
An optimized build such as:
make -C tools/perf CLANG=1 CC=clang EXTRA_CFLAGS="-O3
will turn the dereference operation into a ud2 instruction, raising a
SIGILL rather than a SIGSEGV. Use raise(..) for correctness and clarity.
Similar issues were addressed in Numfor Mbiziwo-Tiapo's patch:

Committer testing:
Before:
[root@quaco ~]# perf test hooks
55: perf hooks : Ok
[root@quaco ~]# perf test -v hooks
55: perf hooks :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 17092
SIGSEGV is observed as expected, try to recover.
Fatal error (SEGFAULT) in perf hook 'test'
test child finished with 0
---- end ----
perf hooks: Ok
[root@quaco ~]#
After:
[root@quaco ~]# perf test hooks
55: perf hooks : Ok
[root@quaco ~]# perf test -v hooks
55: perf hooks :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 17909
SIGSEGV is observed as expected, try to recover.
Fatal error (SEGFAULT) in perf hook 'test'
test child finished with 0
---- end ----
perf hooks: Ok
