Subject: [PATCH v2] perf report: Add a tip about  source line numbers with overhead

There is a existing tip as below.

    If you have debuginfo enabled, try: perf report -s sym,srcline

However this tip only describe a condition to use --sort sym,scrline options.
So there is lack of explanation in the tip. I think that it would be better to
add a tip that exactly explain the feature of --sort srcline.
