Subject: [PATCH 1/2] perf script: Initialize buffer for regs_map()

The buffer is used to save register mapping in a sample.  Normally
perf samples don't have any register so the string should be empty.
But it missed to initialize the buffer when the size is 0.  And it's
passed to PyUnicode_FromString() with a garbage data.

So it returns NULL due to invalid input (instead of an empty unicode
string object) which causes a segfault like below:
