Subject[patch] perf.data documentation clarify HEADER_SAMPLE_TOPOLOGY format

rest of the file.

The format of data in MEM_TOPOLOGY is as follows:

- 0 - version | for future changes
- 8 - block_size_bytes | /sys/devices/system/memory/block_size_bytes
- 16 - count | number of nodes

-For each node we store map of physical indexes:
-
- 32 - node id | node index
- 40 - size | size of bitmap
- 48 - bitmap | bitmap of memory indexes that belongs to node
