perf report: Avoid SEGV in report__setup_sample_type()
[ Upstream commit 45b4f402a6b782352c4bafcff682bfb01da9ca05 ]
In some cases evsel->name is lazily initialized in evsel__name(). If not
initialized passing NULL to strstr() leads to a SEGV.
Fixes: ccb17caecfbd542f ("perf report: Set PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_SRC bit for Arm SPE event")
