tool_pmu__event_to_str() now handles skipped events by returning NULL,
so it's wrong to re-check for a skip on the resulting string. Calling
tool_pmu__skip_event() with a NULL string results in a segfault so
remove the unnecessary skip to fix it:
$ perf test -vv "parsing with PMU name"
12.2: Parsing with PMU name:
...
---- unexpected signal (11) ----
12.2: Parsing with PMU name : FAILED!

perf fails to compile on systems with GCC version11
as below:
In file included from /usr/include/string.h:519,

from /home/athir/perf-tools-next/tools/perf/util/pmu.h:5,

from /home/athir/perf-tools-next/tools/perf/util/evlist.h:14,
from tests/tool_pmu.c:3:
In function ‘strncpy’,
inlined from ‘do_test’ at tests/tool_pmu.c:25:3:
/usr/include/bits/string_fortified.h:95:10: error: ‘__builtin_strncpy’ specified bound 128 equals destination size [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
95 | return __builtin___strncpy_chk (__dest, __src, __len,
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
96 | __glibc_objsize (__dest));
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The compile error is from strncpy refernce in do_test:
strncpy(str, tool_pmu__event_to_str(ev), sizeof(str));
This behaviour is not observed with GCC version 8, but observed
with GCC version 11 . This is message from gcc for detecting
truncation while using strncpu. Use snprintf instead of strncpy
here to be safe.
