perf regs: Fix abort for "-I" or "--user-regs" options
Fix an issue where the `perf` tool aborts unexpectedly when running the
following command:
```
perf record -e cycles -I -- true
Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
-I, --intr-regs[=<any register>]
sample selected machine registers on interrupt, use '-I?' to list register names
```
The usage of the `-I` or `--user-regs` options without specifying any
registers should default to sampling all general-purpose registers.
However, this currently causes an abnormal termination.
The issue was introduced by commit 3d06db9bad1a ("perf regs: Refactor
use of arch__sample_reg_masks() to perf_reg_name()").
This patch resolves the problem, ensuring that the `-I` or `--user-regs`
options work as intended without causing an abort.
Fixes: 3d06db9bad1ad8e6 ("perf regs: Refactor use of arch__sample_reg_masks() to perf_reg_name()")
