perf report powerpc: Fix crash if callchain is empty

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1792377

[ Upstream commit 143c99f6 ]

For some cases, the callchain provided by the kernel may be empty. So,
the callchain ip filtering code will cause a crash if we do not check
whether the struct ip_callchain pointer is NULL before accessing any
members.

This can be observed on a powerpc64le system running Fedora 27 as shown
below.

  # perf record -b -e cycles:u ls

Before:

  # perf report --branch-history

  perf: Segmentation fault
