perf pmu: Fix pmu_id() heap underwrite on empty identifier file

pmu_id() calls filename__read_str() then strips the trailing newline
via str[len - 1] = 0.  If the PMU identifier file is empty,
filename__read_str() succeeds with len = 0.  len - 1 underflows
size_t to SIZE_MAX, writing a null byte before the heap allocation.

Add a len == 0 check before the newline stripping.
