perf record: Fix segfault with --off-cpu when debuginfo is not enabled

description
===========
When kernel is built without debuginfo, running 'perf record' with
--off-cpu results in segfault as below:
./perf record --off-cpu -e dummy sleep 1
libbpf: kernel BTF is missing at '/sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux', was CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF enabled?
libbpf: failed to find '.BTF' ELF section in /lib/modules/6.13.0-rc3+/build/vmlinux
libbpf: failed to find valid kernel BTF
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
The backtrace pointed to:
#0 0x00000000100fb17c in btf.type_cnt ()
#1 0x00000000100fc1a8 in btf_find_by_name_kind ()
#2 0x00000000100fc38c in btf.find_by_name_kind ()
#3 0x00000000102ee3ac in off_cpu_prepare ()
#4 0x000000001002f78c in cmd_record ()
#5 0x00000000100aee78 in run_builtin ()
#6 0x00000000100af3e4 in handle_internal_command ()
#7 0x000000001001004c in main ()
Code sequence is:
static void check_sched_switch_args(void)
{
struct btf *btf = btf__load_vmlinux_btf();
const struct btf_type *t1, *t2, *t3;
u32 type_id;
type_id = btf__find_by_name_kind(btf, "btf_trace_sched_switch",
BTF_KIND_TYPEDEF);
btf__load_vmlinux_btf() fails when CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF is not enabled.
Here bpf__find_by_name_kind() calls btf__type_cnt() with NULL btf value
and results in segfault.
To fix this, add a check to see if btf is not NULL before invoking
bpf__find_by_name_kind().
