Subject: [PATCH] perf script: Skip dummy event attr check

Hongtao Yu reported problem when displaying uregs in perf script
for system wide perf.data:

  # perf script -F uregs | head -10
  Samples for 'dummy:HG' event do not have UREGS attribute set. Cannot print 'uregs' field.

The problem is the extra dummy event added for system wide,
which does not have proper sample_type setup.

Skipping attr check completely for dummy event as suggested
by Namhyung, because it does not have any samples anyway.
