perf script python: Allocate memory only if handler exists

Avoid allocating memory if hook handler is not available. This saves
unused memory allocation and simplifies error path.

Let handler in python_process_tracepoint point to either tracepoint
specific or trace_unhandled hook. Use dict to check if handler points to
trace_unhandled.

Remove the exit label in python_process_general_event and return when no
handler is available.
