bpf_perf_object__next folded the last element in the list test with the
empty list test. However, this meant that offsets were computed against
null and that a struct list_head was compared against a struct
bpf_perf_object. Working around this with clang's undefined behavior
sanitizer required -fno-sanitize=null and -fno-sanitize=object-size.

Remove the undefined behavior by using the regular Linux list APIs and
handling the starting case separately from the end testing case. Looking
at uses like bpf_perf_object__for_each, as the constant NULL or non-NULL
argument can be constant propagated the code is no less efficient.

Nicely spotted!

In some places people solve this with list_first_entry_or_null(), like
in cs_etm__queue_aux_records().

Applied.
