If parse_events__scanner() collects no entry, perf_evlist__last(evlist)
is invalid.

Although it shouldn't happen at this point, before calling
perf_evlist__last(), we should ensure the list is not empty for safety
reason.

There are 3 places need this checking:

  1. Before setting cmdline_group_boundary;
  2. Before __perf_evlist__set_leader();
  3. In foreach_evsel_in_last_glob.
