Function 'create_hist_field' is called recursively at
trace_events_hist.c:1954 and can return NULL-value that's why we have
to check it to avoid null pointer dereference.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
Fixes: 30350d65ac56 ("tracing: Add variable support to hist triggers")
