hupu c66c228a5f perf subcmd: avoid crash in exclude_cmds when excludes is empty
[ Upstream commit a5edf3550f4260504b7e0ab3d40d13ffe924b773 ]

When cross-compiling the perf tool for ARM64, `perf help` may crash
with the following assertion failure:

  help.c:122: exclude_cmds: Assertion `cmds->names[ci] == NULL' failed.

This happens when the perf binary is not named exactly "perf" or when
multiple "perf-*" binaries exist in the same directory. In such cases,
the `excludes` command list can be empty, which leads to the final
assertion in exclude_cmds() being triggered.

Add a simple guard at the beginning of exclude_cmds() to return early
if excludes->cnt is zero, preventing the crash.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
