Fix segfault in profiler-cpu-log and profiler-memory-log (bug#78763)

* src/profiler.c (export_log): Check if a log has been allocated first,
and return nil if it hasn't.
(Fprofiler_cpu_log, Fprofiler_memory_log): Doc fix.
* test/src/profiler-tests.el (profiler-tests-cpu-profiler)
(profiler-tests-memory-profiler): New tests.
