Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: Fix a bug of segmentation fault
Fix the 'segmentation fault' bug of 'perf list --list-cmds', which also
happens in other cases (e.g. record, report ...). This bug happens when
there are no cmds to list at all.
Example:
Before this patch:
$ perf list --list-cmds
Segmentation fault
$
After this patch:
$ perf list --list-cmds
$
As shown above, the result prints nothing rather than a segmentation
fault. The null result means 'perf list' has no cmds to display at this
time.
