As al.cpu may be -1, i.e. no PERF_SAMPLE_CPU, and env->cpu may be NULL.

Rely instead on the work now done in perf_event__preprocess_sample(),
that does all those checks.

I tested this patch on an 8 cores SOC. No segfault found now.

Normal case:

# ./perf record -a ls
# ...
# ./perf_arm64 report -v --stdio -s socket,cpu
build id event received for [kernel.kallsyms]: ...
# To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.

If one of CPUs is offlined before 'perf record':

# ./perf_arm64 report -v --stdio -s socket,cpu

And if CPU is offlined during perf record (between build_cpu_topology() and perf_env__read_cpu_topology_map()):

# ./perf report -v --stdio -s socket,cpu
