perf: fix the missing event initialization when pmu is found in idr

From: Lin Ming
Date: Sun Feb 27 2011 - 08:13:49 EST


Currently, the event is not initialized if pmu is found in idr.
This never causes bug just because now no pmu is associated with the idr
id.
This patch fixes the potential bug.
