Subject[PATCH 3/5] perf tools: Update the Document for perf kvm record for new behavior.
Date
As we have changed the default behavior of perf kvm to --guest enabled,
the document about perf kvm record is outdated. This patch update it to
show the correct output with --host/--guest/neither/both of them.
