perf sort: Use default sort if evlist is empty

Fixes bug noted by Jiri in https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/6/13/755 and
caused by commit d49dadea7862 ("perf tools: Make 'trace' or
'trace_fields' sort key default for tracepoint events") not taking into
account that evlist is empty in pipe-mode.

Before this commit, pipe mode will only show bogus "100.00%  N/A"
instead of correct output as follows:

  $ perf record -o - sleep 1 | perf report -i -
  # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
  #
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ]
  #
  # Total Lost Samples: 0
  #
  # Samples: 8  of event 'cycles:ppH'
  # Event count (approx.): 145658
  #
  # Overhead  Trace output
  # ........  ............
  #
     100.00%  N/A

Correct output, after patch:

  $ perf record -o - sleep 1 | perf report -i -
  # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
  #
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ]
  #
  # Total Lost Samples: 0
  #
  # Samples: 8  of event 'cycles:ppH'
  # Event count (approx.): 191331
  #
  # Overhead  Command  Shared Object      Symbol
  # ........  .......  .................  .................................
