perf tools: callchain: Fix spurious 'perf report' warnings: ignore empty callchains

Browse source 
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.

This happens occasionally with certain types of call-chain
recordings. If it happens it's a big nuisance as perf report
output starts with thousands of warning lines.
