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.

Fixes: 1b9e97a2a95e4941 ("perf tools: Fix report -F symbol_from for data without branch info")
