[PATCH] perf data convert: Fix segfault when converting to json on arm64

From: Ilkka Koskinen
Date: Thu Jan 11 2024 - 18:30:06 EST


Arm64 doesn't have Model in /proc/cpuinfo and, thus, cpu_desc doesn't get
assigned.

Running
$ perf data convert --to-json perf.data.json

ends up calling output_json_string() with NULL pointer, which causes a
segmentation fault.
