[PATCH 2/4] perf tools: callchain: Ignore empty callchains

When the callchain tree comes to insert an empty backtrace, it raises
a spurious warning about the fact we are inserting an empty.
This is spurious because the radix tree assumes it did something
wrong to reach this state. But it didn't, we just met an empty
callchain that has to be ignored.
