perf machine: Guard against NULL in machine__exit()
A recent fix for 'perf trace' introduced a bug where
machine__exit(trace->host) could be called while trace->host was still
NULL, so make this more robust by guarding against NULL, just like
free() does.
The problem happens, for instance, when !root users try to run 'perf
trace':
[acme@jouet linux]$ trace
Error: No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/raw_syscalls/sys_(enter|exit)
Hint: Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing'
perf: Segmentation fault
