perf parse-events: Check if the software events array slots are populated

mainline inclusion
from mainline-5.13-rc3
commit 3b2f17ad
category: bugfix
bugzilla: 78520
CVE: NA

Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=3b2f17ad1770e51b8b4e68b5069c4f1ee477eff8

---------------------------

To avoid a NULL pointer dereference when the kernel supports the new
feature but the tooling still hasn't an entry for it.

This happened with the recently added PERF_COUNT_SW_CGROUP_SWITCHES
software event.
