perf probe: Fix segfault when probe with lazy_line to file



The first argument passed to find_probe_point_lazy() should be CU die,
which will be passed to die_walk_lines() when lazy_line matches.
Currently, when we probe with lazy_line pattern to file without function
name, NULL pointer is passed and causes a segment fault.

Can be reproduced as following:

  $ perf probe -k vmlinux --add='fs/super.c;s->s_count=1;'
  [ 1958.984658] perf[1020]: segfault at 10 ip 00007fc6e10d8c71 sp
  00007ffcbfaaf900 error 4 in libdw-0.161.so[7fc6e10ce000+34000]
  Segmentation fault

After this patch:

  $ perf probe -k vmlinux --add='fs/super.c;s->s_count=1;'
  Added new event:
  probe:_stext         (on @fs/super.c)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
    perf record -e probe:_stext -aR sleep 1
