Subject: [PATCH 4/7] perf list: 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.
