The bhrb_filter_map ("The Branch History Rolling Buffer") callback is only defined in raw CPUs' power_pmu structs. The "architected" CPUs use generic_compat_pmu which does not have this callback and crashed occur.
This add a NULL pointer check for bhrb_filter_map() which behaves as if the callback returned an error. This does not add the same check for config_bhrb() as the only caller checks for cpuhw->bhrb_users which remains zero if bhrb_filter_map==0.
