The patch 1b715e1b0ec5: "bpf: Support ->fill_link_info for
perf_event" from Jul 9, 2023, leads to the following Smatch static
checker warning:
kernel/bpf/syscall.c:3416 bpf_perf_link_fill_kprobe()
error: uninitialized symbol 'type'.
That can happens when uname is NULL. So fix it by verifying the uname
when we really need to fill it.
Fixes: 1b715e1b0ec5 ("bpf: Support ->fill_link_info for perf_event")
