Oops, sorry. It seems somehow to fail to find a matching kernel dso
from the build-id table.. anyway we need to access 'kernel' instead of
'dso' since it might be invalid at this time.
Could you please check below patch?

Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: Fix segfault due to invalid kernel dso access
When processing kernel mmap event, it should access the 'kernel'
variable as sometimes it cannot find a matching dso from build-id
table so 'dso' might be invalid.
