perf top: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference detected by the smatch tool

Based on the following report from Smatch, fix the potential NULL
pointer dereference check.

tools/perf/builtin-top.c:109
perf_top__parse_source() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'he'
(see line 103)

tools/perf/builtin-top.c:233
perf_top__show_details() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'he'
(see line 228)

tools/perf/builtin-top.c
101 static int perf_top__parse_source(struct perf_top *top, struct hist_entry *he)
102 {
103 struct perf_evsel *evsel = hists_to_evsel(he->hists);
^^^^
104 struct symbol *sym;
105 struct annotation *notes;
106 struct map *map;
107 int err = -1;
108
109 if (!he || !he->ms.sym)
110 return -1;

This patch moves the values assignment after validating pointer 'he'.
