perf probe: Avoid accessing uninitialized 'map' variable

Genuine problem detected with clang, the warnings are spot on:

  util/probe-event.c:2079:7: error: variable 'map' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
                  if (addr) {
                      ^~~~
  util/probe-event.c:2094:6: note: uninitialized use occurs here
          if (map && !is_kprobe) {
              ^~~
  util/probe-event.c:2079:3: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always true
                  if (addr) {
