From: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 2e828582b81f5bc76a4fe8e7812df259ab208302 upstream.
parse_events() is often called with parse_events_error set to NULL.
Make parse_events_error__handle() not segfault in that case.
A subsequent patch changes to avoid passing NULL in the first place.
Fixes: 43eb05d066795bdf ("perf tests: Support 'Track with sched_switch' test for hybrid")
