Applied, edited the commit message to:

    perf top: Fix BPF support related crash with perf_event_paranoid=3 + kptr_restrict

    After installing the libelf-dev package and compiling perf, if we have
    kptr_restrict=2 and perf_event_paranoid=3 'perf top' will crash because
    the value of /proc/kallsyms cannot be obtained, which leads to
    info->jited_ksyms == NULL. In order to solve this problem, Add a
    check before use.

    Also plug some leaks on the error path.
