[PATCH] perf metrics: Ensure at least 1 id per metric

[Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>]

We may have no events for a metric evaluated to a constant. In such a
case ensure a tool event is at least evaluated for metric parsing and
displaying.

Fixes: 8586d2744ff3 ("perf metrics: Don't add all tool events for sharing")
