Subject: [PATCH 4/4] perf mem: Fix a segfault with NULL event->name

Guilherme reported a crash in perf mem record.  It's because the
perf_mem_event->name was NULL on his machine.  It should just return
a NULL string when it has no format string in the name.

But I'm not sure why it returns TRUE if it doesn't have event_name in
perf_pmu__mem_events_supported().

The backtrace at the crash is below:

  Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
