Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] perf tools: ARM SPE code cleanup

- Firstly, the function auxtrace_record__init() will be invoked only
  once, the variable "arm_spe_pmus" will not be used afterwards, thus
  we don't need to check "arm_spe_pmus" is NULL or not;
- Another reason is, even though SPE is micro-architecture dependent,
  but so far it only supports "statistical-profiling-extension-v1" and
  we have no chance to use multiple SPE's PMU events in Perf command.

So remove the useless check code to make it clear.
