Subject: [BUG] perf script segfault

Surprised Stephane has not hit this one yet:

$ perf record -e <any-event> -a | perf script
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

It's the second one that core dumps.

$ gdb perf core.16704
...

tool was moved to ordered_events and is not initialized for pipe mode. I 
don't have time to look into it more than that before PTO on Wednesday.
