[PATCH] trace-cmd: Fix err msg for record w/o the -e option

[PATCH] trace-cmd: Fix err msg for record w/o the -e option

[Vladislav Valtchev (VMware)]

Currently, running just `trace-cmd record` without telling which events have to
be traced (-e) nor which tracer to use (-p), trace-cmd dies with the message:
        No instances reference??
Which might not be helpful to new users of the tool. This small patch removes
an early check in trace_record() allowing, in the same case, the execution to
continue a few more statements and fail more gracefully in the function
check_doing_something() with the following message:
        no event or plugin was specified... aborting
