[ Upstream commit d4046e8e17b9f378cb861982ef71c63911b5dff3 ]

When the function name for an inline frame is invalid, we must not try
to demangle this symbol, otherwise we crash with:

#0 0x0000555555895c01 in bfd_demangle ()
#1 0x0000555555823262 in demangle_sym (dso=0x555555d92b90, elf_name=0x0, kmodule=0) at util/symbol-elf.c:215

#3 0x00005555557fef4b in new_inline_sym (funcname=0x0, base_sym=0x555555d92b90, dso=0x555555d92b90) at util/srcline.c:89

So instead handle the case where we get invalid function names for
inlined frames and use a fallback '??' function name instead.

While this crash was originally reported by Hadrien for rust code, I can
now also reproduce it with trivial C++ code. Indeed, it seems like
libbfd fails to interpret the debug information for the inline frame
symbol name:

$ addr2line -e /home/milian/.debug/.build-id/f7/186d14bb94f3c6161c010926da66033d24fce5/elf -if b48

/home/milian/projects/kdab/rnd/hotspot/tests/test-clients/cpp-inlining/main.cpp:39

I've reported this bug upstream and also attached a patch there which
should fix this issue:

Fixes: a64489c56c30 ("perf report: Find the inline stack for a given address")
[ The above 'Fixes:' cset is where originally the problem was
introduced, i.e. using a2l->funcname without checking if it is NULL,
but this current patch fixes the current codebase, i.e. multiple csets
were applied after a64489c56c30 before the problem was reported by Hadrien ]
