lib tools traceevent: Add back pevent assignment in __pevent_parse_format()
Even though with the change of commit commit 2b29175 "tools lib traceevent: Carve out events format parsing routine", allowed __pevent_parse_format() to parse an event without the need of a pevent handler, the event still needs to assign the pevent handed to it. There's no problem with assigning it if the pevent is NULL, as the event->pevent would be NULL without the assignment. But function parsing handlers may be assigned to the pevent handler to help in parsing the event. If there's no pevent then there would not be any function handlers, but if the pevent isn't assigned first before parsing the event, it wont honor the function handlers that were assigned. Worse yet, the current code crashes if an event has a function that it tries to parse. For example: # perf record -e scsi:scsi_dispatch_cmd_timeout Segmentation fault (core dumped) This happens because the scsi_dispatch_cmd_timeout event format has the following: scsi_trace_parse_cdb(p, __get_dynamic_array(cmnd), REC->cmd_len) which hasn't been defined by the pevent code.
