Dapeng Mi c2e28ae294 perf regs: Fix abort for "-I" or "--user-regs" options
Fix an issue where the `perf` tool aborts unexpectedly when running the
following command:

```
perf record -e cycles -I -- true

 Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
    or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

    -I, --intr-regs[=<any register>]
    sample selected machine registers on interrupt, use '-I?' to list register names
```

The usage of the `-I` or `--user-regs` options without specifying any
registers should default to sampling all general-purpose registers.

However, this currently causes an abnormal termination.

The issue was introduced by commit 3d06db9bad ("perf regs: Refactor
 use of arch__sample_reg_masks() to perf_reg_name()").

This patch resolves the problem, ensuring that the `-I` or `--user-regs`
options work as intended without causing an abort.

Fixes: 3d06db9bad ("perf regs: Refactor use of arch__sample_reg_masks() to perf_reg_name()")
