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.
