perf trace: Handle perf.data files with no tracepoints
Before:
perf trace -i perf.data
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
#
After:
# perf trace -i perf.data
Data file does not have raw_syscalls:sys_enter events
#
When there are no tracepoints in a perf.data file the struct pevent
that contains the list of tracepoints that will be used to lookup the
tracepoint id by name will not be populated, causing a NULL deref.
And we don't need to do all that dance to look at pevents for an entry
with a slighly different name to then lookup the tracepoint by its id on
the evlist, just use the perf_evlist__find_tracepoint_by_name() routine,
that will find the tracepoint, if present.
