[PATCH 1/2] perf tools: Fix seg fault with Intel PT

[Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com>]

Fix segmentation fault using:

	perf record -e intel_pt//u uname

Back trace:

Intel PT attempts to find the sched:sched_switch tracepoint but that
seg faults if tracefs is not readable, because the error reporting
structure is null, as errors are not reported when automatically
adding tracepoints.  Fix by checking before using.
