perf top: Fix a segfault when kernel map is restricted.

Perf top raise a warning if a kernel sample is collected but kernel map
is restricted. The warning message needs to dereference al.map->dso...

However, previous perf_event__preprocess_sample() doesn't always
guarantee al.map != NULL, for example, when kernel map is restricted.

This patch validates al.map before dereferencing, avoid the segfault.

Before this patch:

 $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict
 1
 $ perf top -p  120183
 perf: Segmentation fault
