perf config: Allow creating empty config set for config file autogeneration
When there isn't a config file (e.g. ~/.perfconfig) or it has nothing,
the config set wasn't created.
If the config set does not exist, a config file can't be autogenerated.
So allow creating a empty config set in the above case,
then we can support the config file autogeneration.
Before:
$ rm -f ~/.perfconfig
$ perf config --user report.children=false
$ cat ~/.perfconfig
cat: /root/.perfconfig: No such file or directory
But I think it should work even if there isn't a config file.
After:
$ rm -f ~/.perfconfig
$ perf config --user report.children=false
$ cat ~/.perfconfig
# this file is auto-generated.
[report]
children = false
NOTE:
As a result, if perf_config_set__init() fails, it looks as if the config
set isn't freed. But it isn't a problem. Because the config set will be
freed by perf_config_set__delete() at the end of cmd_config().
