4.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>

commit 472de49fdc53365c880ab81ae2b5cfdd83db0b06 upstream.

Vince reported a crash in the BTS flush code when touching the callchain
data, which was supposed to be initialized as an 'early' callchain,
but intel_pmu_drain_bts_buffer() does not do that:

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000
  ...
  Call Trace:

   </IRQ>

It was triggered by fuzzer but can be easily reproduced by:

  # perf record -e cpu/branch-instructions/pu -g -c 1

Peter suggested not to allow branch tracing for precise events:

 > Now arguably, this is really stupid behaviour. Who in his right mind
 > wants callchain output on BTS entries. And even if they do, BTS +
 > precise_ip is nonsensical.
 >
 > So in my mind disallowing precise_ip on BTS would be the simplest fix.
