The reason is the same as builtin-script doesn't use trace_event__register_resolver,
because we only use report and script to analyze offline perf.data, and there could
be no tracepoints in perf.data.

The wrapper trace_event__register_resolver always initialize tevent.pevent, and calling
pevent_set_function_resolver which isn't necessary when there is no tracepoints in the
perf.data.
