Steven Rostedt (VMware) 443b0636ea perf scripting engines: Iterate on tep event arrays directly
Instead of calling a useless (and broken) helper function to get the
next event of a tep event array, just get the array directly and iterate
over it.

Note, the broken part was from trace_find_next_event() which after this
will no longer be used, and can be removed.

Committer notes:

This fixes a segfault when generating python scripts from perf.data
files with multiple tracepoint events, i.e. the following use case is
fixed by this patch:

  # perf record -e sched:* sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 31 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.031 MB perf.data (9 samples) ]
  # perf script -g python
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
