tracing/hist: Fix issue of losting command info in error_log

Commit Message

When input some constructed invalid 'trigger' command, command info
in 'error_log' are lost [1].

The root cause is that there is a path that event_hist_trigger_parse()
is recursely called once and 'last_cmd' which save origin command is
cleared, then later calling of hist_err() will no longer record origin
command info:

  event_hist_trigger_parse() {
    last_cmd_set()  // <1> 'last_cmd' save origin command here at first
    create_actions() {
      onmatch_create() {
        action_create() {
          trace_action_create() {
            trace_action_create_field_var() {
              create_field_var_hist() {
                event_hist_trigger_parse() {  // <2> recursely called once
                  hist_err_clear()  // <3> 'last_cmd' is cleared here
                }
                hist_err()  // <4> No longer find origin command!!!

Since 'glob' is empty string while running into the recurse call, we
can trickly check it and bypass the call of hist_err_clear() to solve it.
