Subject: [PATCH] perf: fix initialization bug in parse_single_tracepoint_event()


  The parse_single_tracepoint_event() was setting some attributes
  before it validated the event was indeed a tracepoint event. This
  caused problems with other initialization routines like in the
  builtin-top.c module whereby sample_period is not set if not 0.
