[PATCH] perf hists browser: Fix segfault when all entries be filtered

From: He Kuang
Date: Tue Mar 03 2015 - 23:17:03 EST


When all perf report entries be filtered, the result of
hists__filter_entries() can be NULL, check the result before processing.

Miss this checking will cause segmentation fault like this:

$ perf report

(filter all entries and left nothing, then zoom in/out)
perf: Segmentation fault
