perf list: Robustify event printing routine
When a43eec304259 ("bpf: introduce bpf_perf_event_output() helper") added
PERF_COUNT_SW_BPF_OUTPUT we ended up with a new entry in the event_symbols_sw
array that wasn't initialized, thus set to NULL, fix print_symbol_events()
to check for that case so that we don't crash if this happens again.

A patch to robustify perf to not segfault when the next counter gets added in
the kernel will follow this one.
