It is undefined behavior to pass NULL as snprintf()'s fmt argument.
Here is an example to trigger the problem:

  $ perf stat --metric-only -x, -e instructions -- sleep 1
  insn per cycle,
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)

With this patch:

  $ perf stat --metric-only -x, -e instructions -- sleep 1
  insn per cycle,
  ,
