Fix: registry can be null on lookup
A session teardown can be initiated by a dying application. Hence, a
session object can exist without a valid registry. As a result,
get_session_registry can return null. To prevent this, the UST
application session lock should be held, when possible, when looking up
the registry to ensure synchronization. Otherwise the presence of a
registry is not guaranteed. In such case, handling a null return value
from look-up registry function is necessary.
Core dumps, triggered by the "assert(registry)" statement found in
reply_ust_register_channel, were observed when killing instrumented
applications. In this occurrence, obtaining the UST application lock
result in a deadlock since the lock is already held during
ust_app_global_create. Handling the null value is simpler and
corresponds with the handling of previous look-up done during the
function.
Handling of null value is also applied to:
add_event_ust_registry
add_enum_ust_registry
ust_app_snapshot_record
