perf evlist: Fix missing event name init for default event
When no event is given to perf record, perf top, a default event is initialized (cycles). However, perf_evlist__add_default() was not setting the symbolic name for the event. Perf top worked simply because it was reconstructing the name from the event code. But it should not have to do this. This patch initializes the evsel->name field properly. This second version improves the code flow on the non error path.
