perf script: Fix Cannot print 'iregs' field for hybrid systems

[ Upstream commit 82b2425fad2dd47204b3da589b679220f8aacc0e ]

Commit b91e5492f9d7ca89 ("perf record: Add a dummy event on hybrid
systems to collect metadata records") adds a dummy event on hybrid
systems to fix the symbol "unknown" issue when the workload is created
in a P-core but runs on an E-core. The added dummy event will cause
"perf script -F iregs" to fail. Dummy events do not have "iregs"
attribute set, so when we do evsel__check_attr, the "iregs" attribute
check will fail, so the issue happened.

The following commit [1] has fixed a similar issue by skipping the attr
check for the dummy event because it does not have any samples anyway. It
works okay for the normal mode, but the issue still happened when running
the test in the pipe mode. In the pipe mode, it calls process_attr() which
still checks the attr for the dummy event. This commit fixed the issue by
skipping the attr check for the dummy event in the API evsel__check_attr,
Otherwise, we have to patch everywhere when evsel__check_attr() is called.

Before:

  #./perf record -o - --intr-regs=di,r8,dx,cx -e br_inst_retired.near_call:p -c 1000 --per-thread true 2>/dev/null|./perf script -F iregs |head -5
  Samples for 'dummy:HG' event do not have IREGS attribute set. Cannot print 'iregs' field.

After:

  # ./perf record -o - --intr-regs=di,r8,dx,cx -e br_inst_retired.near_call:p -c 1000 --per-thread true 2>/dev/null|./perf script -F iregs |head -5
