perf trace: Fix race condition at the end of started workloads
I get following crash on multiple systems and across several releases
(at least since v3.18).
Core was generated by `/tmp/perf trace sleep 0.2 '.
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

The problem seems to be a race condition, when the application has just
exited. Some/all fds associated with the perf-events (tracepoints) go
into a POLLHUP/ POLLERR state and the mmap region associated with those
events are unmapped (in perf_evlist__filter_pollfd()).
But we go back and do a perf_evlist__mmap_read() which assumes that the
mmaps are still valid and we hit the crash.
If the mapping for an event is released, its refcnt is 0 (and ->base
is NULL), so ensure we have non-zero refcount before accessing the map.
Note that perf-record has a similar logic but unlike perf-trace, the
record__mmap_read_all() checks the evlist->mmap[i].base before accessing
the map.
