[PATCH v4 3/9] perf disasm: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in arch__find()

[Ian Rogers]

If arch_new_fn[e_machine]() fails (e.g., returning NULL to reject an
architecture or upon allocation failure), the error path attempts to
print result->name, dereferencing a NULL pointer and leading to a
segmentation fault. Fix it by printing the numeric e_machine value
instead.
