Based on the following report from Smatch, fix the potential
NULL pointer dereference check.

  tools/perf/ui/browsers/hists.c:641
  hist_browser__run() error: we previously assumed 'hbt' could be
  null (see line 625)

  tools/perf/ui/browsers/hists.c:3088
  perf_evsel__hists_browse() error: we previously assumed
  'browser->he_selection' could be null (see line 2902)

  tools/perf/ui/browsers/hists.c:3272
  perf_evsel_menu__run() error: we previously assumed 'hbt' could be
  null (see line 3260)

This patch firstly validating the pointers before access them, so can
fix potential NULL pointer dereference.

not sure this can really happen, perhaps WARN_ON_ONCE(!hbt) would be
good in here
