Hi,
This patch fixes a real crash problem when we do 'perf report'
on an arm64 platform with arm32 program.
It is introduced by commit f9b2bdf228 ("perf tools: Find vdso
with the consider of cross-platform"). From dmesg report, perf
crashes in dso__type() because dso is NULL.
Still don't know why on x86 it never crash, but it is obviously
that we need to check the return vaule from __dso__find(): it can
be NULL.
So please consider pulling.
Thank you.

We should check if 'dso' is a null pointer before passing it to the
function dso__type(), otherwise a segfault will be raised in
dso__data_get_fd(). In function machine__find_vdso(), the return value
checking of 'dso' is missed and this patch fixes this issue.
