[PATCH] perf: fix a segfault problem.

From: Wang Nan
Date: Fri Mar 13 2015 - 04:42:11 EST


Without this patch, perf report cause segfault if pass "" as '-t':

$ perf report -t ""

# To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
#
# Samples: 37 of event 'syscalls:sys_enter_write'
# Event count (approx.): 37
#
# Children SelfCommand Shared Object Symbol
Segmentation fault

This patch avoid the segfault by checking empty string for
'symbol_conf.field_sep'.
