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.
