If parse_events__scanner() collects no entry, perf_evlist__last(evlist)

It could happend in currect BPF implementation. See [1]. Although it
can be fixed, for safety reason it whould be better to introduce this
check.

Now I think chinking this before list splice should be better. Plase ignore this patch.

Thank you.
