From the MIPS kernel we get things like:

print fmt: "page=%p pfn=%lu order=%d migratetype=%d", REC->page, ({ struct page *__pg = (REC->page); int __sec = page_to_section(__pg); (unsigned long)(__pg - __section_mem_map_addr(__nr_to_section(__sec))); }), REC->order, REC->migratetype

This cannot be parsed, leading to a NULL struct event_format* being
passed to pevent_get_common_field_val, which produces a SIGSEGV. It
would be good to get a parsable format from the kernel, but to
remediate the problem for legacy kernels, we can just return an error
indicator in this case. This allows some output from trace-cmd
report, although perhaps with some missing data. But this is better
than crashing.
