Hi

This breaks Intel PT i.e.

$ perf record -e intel_pt//u uname
event syntax error: 'intel_pt//u'
                             \___ parser error
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

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

    -e, --event <event>   event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events

See below for cause.

These are not equivalent because opt_event_config allows '//'
but event_config cannot be an empty string.
