perf probe: Fix to avoid crashing if DW_AT_decl_file is NULL



Since clang generates DWARF5 which sets DW_AT_decl_file as 0,
dwarf_decl_file() thinks that is invalid and returns NULL.  In that case
'perf probe' SIGSEGVs because it doesn't expect a NULL decl_file.

This adds a dwarf_decl_file() return value check to avoid such SEGV with
clang generated DWARF5 info.

Without this, 'perf probe' crashes:

  $ perf probe -k $BIN_PATH/vmlinux -s $SRC_PATH -L vfs_read:10
  Segmentation fault
  $

With this, it just warns about it:

  $ perf probe -k $BIN_PATH/vmlinux -s $SRC_PATH -L vfs_read:10
  Debuginfo analysis failed.
    Error: Failed to show lines.
  $
