[ Upstream commit 111442cfc8abdeaa7ec1407f07ef7b3e5f76654e ]

Based on the following report from Smatch, fix the potential NULL
pointer dereference check.

  tools/perf/builtin-top.c:109
  perf_top__parse_source() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'he'
  (see line 103)

  tools/perf/builtin-top.c:233
  perf_top__show_details() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'he'
  (see line 228)

  tools/perf/builtin-top.c
  101 static int perf_top__parse_source(struct perf_top *top, struct hist_entry *he)
  102 {
  103         struct perf_evsel *evsel = hists_to_evsel(he->hists);
                                                        ^^^^
  104         struct symbol *sym;
  105         struct annotation *notes;
  106         struct map *map;
  107         int err = -1;
  108
  109         if (!he || !he->ms.sym)
  110                 return -1;

This patch moves the values assignment after validating pointer 'he'.
