perf/x86/intel/bts: Make sure debug store is valid
Since commit 4d4c474 ("perf/x86/intel/bts: Fix BTS PMI detection")
my box goes boom on boot:
| .... node #0, CPUs: lkl#1 lkl#2 lkl#3 lkl#4 lkl#5 lkl#6 lkl#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.
