Subject: [PATCH] Fix for SIGSEGV in systemd-bootchart on short-living

 processes

The function svg_ps_bars() dereferencess NULL pointer in the line

	endtime = ps->last->sampledata->sampletime;

because of partially initialized ps_struct (ps->last == NULL).

If some process terminates between scaning /proc directory in the log_sample()

function and reading additional information from /proc/PID/... files,

the files couldn't be read, the loop will be continued and partially

initialized structure returned.
