That got broken by d3a72fd818 ("perf report: Fix indentation of
dynamic entries in hierarchy"), by using the evlist in setup_sorting()
without checking if it is NULL, as done in some 'perf test' entries:
$ find tools/ -name "*.c" | xargs grep 'setup_sorting(NULL);'
tools/perf/tests/hists_output.c: setup_sorting(NULL);
tools/perf/tests/hists_output.c: setup_sorting(NULL);
tools/perf/tests/hists_output.c: setup_sorting(NULL);
tools/perf/tests/hists_output.c: setup_sorting(NULL);
tools/perf/tests/hists_output.c: setup_sorting(NULL);
tools/perf/tests/hists_cumulate.c: setup_sorting(NULL);
tools/perf/tests/hists_cumulate.c: setup_sorting(NULL);
tools/perf/tests/hists_cumulate.c: setup_sorting(NULL);
tools/perf/tests/hists_cumulate.c: setup_sorting(NULL);
$
Fix it.
