perf probe: Fix segfault if passed with ''.
Since parse_perf_probe_point() deals with a user passed argument, we should not assume it to be a valid string. Without this patch, if pass '' to perf probe, a segfault raises: $ perf probe -a '' Segmentation fault This patch checks argument of parse_perf_probe_point() before string processing. After this patch: $ perf probe -a '' usage: perf probe [<options>] 'PROBEDEF' ['PROBEDEF' ...] or: perf probe [<options>] --add 'PROBEDEF' [--add 'PROBEDEF' ...] ...
