Subject: [PATCH 3/3] perf sort: Check return value of strdup()

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@....com>

When setup_sorting() is called, 'str' is passed to strtok_r() but it's
not checked to have a valid pointer.  As strtok_r() accepts NULL
pointer on a first argument and use the third argument in that case,
it can cause a trouble since our third argument, tmp, is not
initialized.
