Subject: [PATCH 14/25] perf kmem: Show warning when trying to run stat without record

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@...nel.org>

Sometimes one can mistakenly run 'perf kmem stat' without running 'perf
kmem record' before or with a different configuration like recording
--slab and stat --page.  Show a warning message like the one below to
inform the user:

  # perf kmem stat --page --caller
  No page allocation events found.  Have you run 'perf kmem record --page'?
