perf map: Delete two variable initialisations before null pointer checks in sort__sym_from_cmp()
[ Upstream commit c160118a90d4acf335993d8d59b02ae2147a524e ] Addresses of two data structure members were determined before corresponding null pointer checks in the implementation of the function “sort__sym_from_cmp”. Thus avoid the risk for undefined behaviour by removing extra initialisations for the local variables “from_l” and “from_r” (also because they were already reassigned with the same value behind this pointer check). This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
