perf bench: Fix NULL pointer dereference in "perf bench all"
The for_each_bench() macro must check that the "benchmarks" field of a
collection is not NULL before dereferencing it because the "all"
collection in particular has a NULL "benchmarks" field (signifying that
it has no benchmarks to iterate over).
This fixes this NULL pointer dereference when running "perf bench all":
[root@ssdandy ~]# perf bench all
<SNIP>
# Running mem/memset benchmark...
# Copying 1MB Bytes ...
2.453675 GB/Sec
12.056327 GB/Sec (with prefault)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
