Subject: perf trace: Fix race condition at the end of started workloads

I get following crash on multiple systems and across several releases
(at least since v3.18).

	Core was generated by `/tmp/perf trace sleep 0.2 '.
	Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
	#0  perf_mmap__read_head (mm=0x3fff9bf30070) at util/evlist.h:195
	195		u64 head = ACCESS_ONCE(pc->data_head);
	(gdb) bt
	#0  perf_mmap__read_head (mm=0x3fff9bf30070) at util/evlist.h:195
	#1  perf_evlist__mmap_read (evlist=0x10027f11910, idx=<optimized out>)

	#5  0x00000000100063e8 in handle_internal_command (argv=0x3fffd7b2b550, argc=3)

The problem seems to be a race condition, when the application has just
exited.  Some/all fds associated with the perf-events (tracepoints) go
into a POLLHUP/ POLLERR state and the mmap region associated with those
events are unmapped (in perf_evlist__filter_pollfd()).

But we go back and do a perf_evlist__mmap_read() which assumes that the
mmaps are still valid and we hit the crash.

If the mapping for an event is released, its refcnt is 0 (and ->base
is NULL), so ensure we have non-zero refcount before accessing the map.

Note that perf-record has a similar logic but unlike perf-trace, the
record__mmap_read_all() checks the evlist->mmap[i].base before accessing
the map.
