It should not be a existing bug in perf. There are other places rely on
non-empty of the list. For example, in parse_events__set_leader(). 
Furtunately,
it won't triggered problem because we don't allow a BPF object to be 
wrapped with "{}"
lexically ("{./aaa.o}" will be interpreterd as file '{./aaa.o' and a 
extra '}').
