perf evsel: Make perf_evsel__name() accept a NULL argument
[ Upstream commit fdbdd7e8580eac9bdafa532746c865644d125e34 ] In which case it simply returns "unknown", like when it can't figure out the evsel->name value. This makes this code more robust and fixes a problem in 'perf trace' where a NULL evsel was being passed to a routine that only used the evsel for printing its name when a invalid syscall id was passed.
