[RFC PATCH] perf/core: Prevent dereferencing NULL pointer

[I Hsin Cheng]

According to coverity scan check, there's possible cases where
"ring_buffer_get()" returns a NULL in "perf_mmap_close".

Use a "BUG_ON()" to check for NULL pointer existence, panic if it does
exist, otherwise it's safe to dereference "rb" and access its members.

The scan check report link is:
