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.
