Subject: [PATCH] perf test: Perf test 67 dumps core on s390

Linux 5.9 introduced perf test case "Parse and process metrics" and
on s390 this test case always dumps core:

[root@...lp67 perf]# ./perf test -vvvv -F 67
67: Parse and process metrics                             :
--- start ---
metric expr inst_retired.any / cpu_clk_unhalted.thread for IPC
parsing metric: inst_retired.any / cpu_clk_unhalted.thread
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[root@...lp67 perf]#

I debugged this core dump and gdb shows this call chain:

This test case was added with
commit 218ca91df477 ("perf tests: Add parse metric test for frontend metric").

When I compile with make DEBUG=y it works fine and I do not get a
core dump.
It turned out that the above listed function call chain worked on
a struct pmu_event array which requires a trailing element with zeroes
which was missing. The marco map_for_each_event() loops over that
array tests for members metric_expr/metric_name/metric_group
being non-NULL. Adding this element fixes the issue.

Output after:
  [root@...lp46 perf]# ./perf test 67
  67: Parse and process metrics                             : Ok
  [root@...lp46 perf]#
