perf_counter: Work around gcc warning by initializing tracepoint record unconditionally
Despite that the tracepoint record is always present when the PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD flag is set, gcc raises a warning, thinking it might not be initialized: kernel/perf_counter.c: In function ‘perf_counter_output’: kernel/perf_counter.c:2650: warning: ‘tp’ may be used uninitialized in this function Then, initialize it to NULL and always check if it's not NULL before dereference it.
