    Based on the following report from Smatch, fix the potential NULL
    pointer dereference check.
    
      tools/perf/util/intel-bts.c:898
      intel_bts_process_auxtrace_info() error: we previously assumed
      'session->itrace_synth_opts' could be null (see line 894)
    
      tools/perf/util/intel-bts.c:899
      intel_bts_process_auxtrace_info() warn: variable dereferenced before
      check 'session->itrace_synth_opts' (see line 898)
    
      tools/perf/util/intel-bts.c
      894         if (session->itrace_synth_opts && session->itrace_synth_opts->set) {
      895                 bts->synth_opts = *session->itrace_synth_opts;
      896         } else {
      897                 itrace_synth_opts__set_default(&bts->synth_opts,
      898                                 session->itrace_synth_opts->default_no_sample);
                                          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
      899                 if (session->itrace_synth_opts)
                              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
      900                         bts->synth_opts.thread_stack =
      901                                 session->itrace_synth_opts->thread_stack;
      902         }
    
    'session->itrace_synth_opts' is impossible to be a NULL pointer in
    intel_bts_process_auxtrace_info(), thus this patch removes the NULL test
    for 'session->itrace_synth_opts'.
