The bhrb_filter_map ("The  Branch  History  Rolling  Buffer") callback is
only defined in raw CPUs' power_pmu structs. The "architected" CPUs use
generic_compat_pmu which does not have this callback and crashed occur.

This add a NULL pointer check for bhrb_filter_map() which behaves as if
the callback returned an error.

This does not add the same check for config_bhrb() as the only caller
checks for cpuhw->bhrb_users which remains zero if bhrb_filter_map==0.
