perf subcmd: avoid crash in exclude_cmds when excludes is empty
When cross-compiling the perf tool for ARM64, `perf help` may crash
with the following assertion failure:
help.c:122: exclude_cmds: Assertion `cmds->names[ci] == NULL' failed.
This happens when the perf binary is not named exactly "perf" or when
multiple "perf-*" binaries exist in the same directory. In such cases,
the `excludes` command list can be empty, which leads to the final
assertion in exclude_cmds() being triggered.
Add a simple guard at the beginning of exclude_cmds() to return early
if excludes->cnt is zero, preventing the crash.
