perf mmap: Fix NULL deref in aio cleanup on alloc failure

Browse source

perf_mmap__aio_mmap() sets map->aio.nr_cblocks before allocating the
data array.  If calloc() for aiocb or cblocks fails before the data
array is allocated, the return -1 path leads to perf_mmap__aio_munmap()
which loops nr_cblocks times calling perf_mmap__aio_free().  Both
versions of perf_mmap__aio_free() (NUMA and non-NUMA) dereference
map->aio.data[idx] without checking if data is NULL, causing a NULL
pointer dereference.

Add NULL checks for map->aio.data at the top of both
perf_mmap__aio_free() variants so the cleanup path is safe when
allocation fails partway through perf_mmap__aio_mmap().
