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

  tools/perf/util/cs-etm.c:2545
  cs_etm__process_auxtrace_info() error: we previously assumed
  'session->itrace_synth_opts' could be null (see line 2541)

tools/perf/util/cs-etm.c
2541         if (session->itrace_synth_opts && session->itrace_synth_opts->set) {
2542                 etm->synth_opts = *session->itrace_synth_opts;
2543         } else {
2544                 itrace_synth_opts__set_default(&etm->synth_opts,
2545                                 session->itrace_synth_opts->default_no_sample);
                                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2546                 etm->synth_opts.callchain = false;
2547         }

To dismiss the potential NULL pointer dereference, this patch validates
the pointer 'session->itrace_synth_opts' before access its elements.

This will work but we end up checking session->itrace_synth_opts twice.  I
suggest to check it once and then process with the if/else if valid:

        if (session->itrace_synth_opts) {
                if (session->itrace_synth_opts->set) {
                        ...
                } else {
                        ...
                }
        }

Thanks,
Mathieu

Thanks for reviewing.

As discussed with Adrian in another email for intel-pt, it's safe to
remove NULL checking for session->itrace_synth_opts after I reviewed the
code for report/script/inject.  So I'm planning to apply the same change
for cs-etm code.

If you have concern for this, please let me know.

Thanks,
Leo Yan
