perf hist: Honor symbol_conf.skip_empty

So that it can skip events with no sample according to the config value.
This can omit the dummy event in the output of perf report --group.

An example output:

  $ sudo perf mem record -a sleep 1
  $ sudo perf report --group

Now it doesn't have a column for the dummy event.
