that's leftover from the times when leader has 'leader' set to NULL

we made the change here:

perf evsel: Set leader evsel's ->leader to itself
commit 2cfda562da7b0b1e0575507ef3efe782d4e218e4
Author: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@xxxxxxx>
Date:   Thu Nov 29 15:38:29 2012 +0900

the leader is set properly in perf_evsel__init and when
reading perf.data, so there was no harm in current code

thanks,
jirka
