Subject: [PATCH 1/4] perf record: Fix a segfault in record__read_lost_samples()

When it fails to open events record__open() returns without setting the
session->evlist.  Then it gets a segfault in the function trying to read
lost sample counts.  You can easily reproduce it as a normal user like:

  $ perf record -p 1 true
  ...
  perf: Segmentation fault
  ...

Skip the function if it has no evlist.  And add more protection for evsels
which are not properly initialized.
