Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: Don't set leader if parser doesn't collect an evsel

Similar to patch 'perf tools: Don't set cmdline_group_boundary if no
evsel is collected', in case when parser collects no evsel (at this
point it shouldn't happen), parse_events__set_leader() is not safe.

This patch checks list_empty becore calling __perf_evlist__set_leader()
for safty reason.

I'd like to queue this patch into my next pull request. Since it is not
a real bug, it may be dropped.
