Subject: [PATCH 11/12] perf top: Display slow reader warning for when droping samples

Currently we display the "Too slow to read ring buffer.." helpline
only for slow reader thread. This patch triggers it also when the
processing thread drops samples, because it has the same reason,
which is too many data on input.
