perf events: Fix false positive build warning with older GCC's

gcc 4.2.1 produces:

 util/probe-event.c: In function 'add_perf_probe_events':
 util/probe-event.c:883: warning: 'tev' may be used uninitialized in this function
 make: *** [util/probe-event.o] Error 1

Newer GCCs get this right.

To work it around, initialize the variable to NULL so that older GCCs see
it as initialized too.
