perf machine: Guard against NULL in machine__exit() A recent fix for 'perf trace' introduced a bug where machine__exit(trace->host) could be called while trace->host was still NULL, so make this more robust by guarding against NULL, just like free() does. The problem happens, for instance, when !root users try to run 'perf trace': [acme@jouet linux]$ trace Error: No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/raw_syscalls/sys_(enter|exit) Hint: Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing' perf: Segmentation fault Obtained 7 stack frames.
