In function perf_event_parse_addr_filter(), the path::dentry of each struct
perf_addr_filter is left unassigned (as it should be) when the pattern
being parsed is related to kernel space. But in function
perf_addr_filter_match() the same dentries are given to d_inode() where
the value is not expected to be NULL, resulting in the following splat:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000058

This patch is fixing the problem by introducing a new check in function
perf_addr_filter_match() to see if the filter's dentry is NULL.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
