perf/x86/intel/bts: Make sure debug store is valid



Since commit 4d4c4741 ("perf/x86/intel/bts: Fix BTS PMI detection")
my box goes boom on boot:

| .... node  #0, CPUs:      #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7
| BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000018
| IP: [<ffffffff8100c463>] intel_bts_interrupt+0x43/0x130
| Call Trace:
|  <NMI> d [<ffffffff8100b341>] intel_pmu_handle_irq+0x51/0x4b0
|  [<ffffffff81004d47>] perf_event_nmi_handler+0x27/0x40

This happens because the code introduced in this commit dereferences the
debug store pointer unconditionally. The debug store is not guaranteed to
be available, so a NULL pointer check as on other places is required.
