perf bpf: Add NULL check for btf__type_by_id() in synthesize_bpf_prog_name()

synthesize_bpf_prog_name() calls btf__type_by_id() and immediately
dereferences the result via t->name_off without checking for NULL.
btf__type_by_id() returns NULL when the type_id is invalid or out
of range.  When processing perf.data files, finfo->type_id comes from
untrusted input, so an invalid ID causes a NULL pointer dereference.

Fix by checking t for NULL before dereferencing.
