perf lock contention: Add a missing NULL check
[ Upstream commit f3408580bac8ce5cd76e7391e529c0a22e7c7eb2 ]
I got a report for a failure in BPF verifier on a recent kernel with
perf lock contention command. It checks task->sighand->siglock without
checking if sighand is NULL or not. Let's add one.
; if (&curr->sighand->siglock == (void *)lock)
265: (79) r1 = *(u64 *)(r0 +2624) ; frame1: R0_w=trusted_ptr_task_struct(off=0,imm=0)
; R1_w=rcu_ptr_or_null_sighand_struct(off=0,imm=0)
266: (b7) r2 = 0 ; frame1: R2_w=0
267: (0f) r1 += r2
R1 pointer arithmetic on rcu_ptr_or_null_ prohibited, null-check it first
