perf top: Fix segfault pressing -> with no hist entries

'perf top' segfaults with following operation:

# perf top -e page-faults -p 11400 # 11400 never generates page-fault

Then on the resulting empty interface, press right key:

# ./perf top -e page-faults -p 11400
perf: Segmentation fault
-------- backtrace --------
./perf[0x535428]
/lib64/libc.so.6(+0x3545f)[0x7f0dd360745f]
./perf[0x531d46]
./perf(perf_evlist__tui_browse_hists+0x96)[0x5340d6]

/lib64/libc.so.6(clone+0x6c)[0x7f0dd36b90dc]

The bug resides in perf_evsel__hists_browse() that, in the above
circumstance browser->selection can be NULL, but code after
skip_annotation doesn't consider it.

This patch fix it by checking browser->selection before fetching
browser->selection->map.
