ARM: 7356/1: perf: check that we have an event in the PMU IRQ handlers
The PMU IRQ handlers in perf assume that if a counter has overflowed then perf must be responsible. In the paranoid world of crazy hardware, this could be false, so check that we do have a valid event before attempting to dereference NULL in the interrupt path.
