perf_counter: Work around gcc warning by initializing tracepoint record unconditionally
Despite that the tracepoint record is always present when the
PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD flag is set, gcc raises a warning,
thinking it might not be initialized:
kernel/perf_counter.c: In function ‘perf_counter_output’:
kernel/perf_counter.c:2650: warning: ‘tp’ may be used uninitialized in this function
Then, initialize it to NULL and always check if it's not NULL
before dereference it.
