[PATCH] perf record: Fix failed memory allocation for get_cpuid_str

[Thomas Richter <tmricht@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

In x86 architecture dependend part function
get_cpuid_str() mallocs a 128 byte buffer, but does not
check if the memory allocation succeeded or not.
When the memory allocation fails, function __get_cpuid()
is called with first parameter being a NULL pointer.
However this function references its first parameter
and operates on a NULL pointer which might cause core
dumps.
