perf cs-etm: Fix the assert() to handle captured and unprocessed cpu trace

If one builds perf with DEBUG=1, captures data on multiple CPUs and
finally runs 'perf report -C <cpu>' for only one of the cpus, assert()
aborts the program. This happens because there are empty queues with
format set.

This patch changes the condition to abort only if a queue is not empty
and if the format is unset.

$ make -C tools/perf DEBUG=1 CORESIGHT=1 CSLIBS=/usr/lib CSINCLUDES=/usr/include install
$ perf record -o kcore --kcore -e cs_etm/timestamp/k -s -C 0-1 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1
$ perf report --input kcore/data --vmlinux=/home/ikoskine/projects/linux/vmlinux -C 1
Aborted (core dumped)
