I found when specifying all tracepoints with -e to one of subcommand,
such as 'stat', the program will trigger a buffer overflow error, like
this:

*** buffer overflow detected ***: ./perf terminated
======= Backtrace: =========
/lib64/libc.so.6(__fortify_fail+0x37)[0x382cefb2c7]
....

The tracepoints are separated by comma, something like this:

$ perf stat -a -e `perf list |grep Tracepoint|awk -F'[' '{gsub(/[[:space:]]+/,"",$1);array[FNR]=$1}END{outputs=array[1];for (i=2;i<=FNR;i++){ outputs=outputs "," array[i];};print outputs}'`

The root reason of this problem is that store_event_type() is called for all
events, and will overflow the 'filename' at:

    strncat(filename, orgname, strlen(orgname));

This patch fixes it by calling store_event_type() only when the event name has
been found.
