Subject: [PATCH] perf kvm stat record: print kvm specific --help output

The 'perf kvm stat record' tool is an alias of 'perf record' with
predefined kvm related options. All options that passed to 'perf kvm
stat record' are processed by the 'perf record' tool. So, 'perf kvm stat
record --help' prints  help of usage for the 'perf record'
command. There are a few options useful for 'perf kvm stat record', the
rest either break kvm related output or don't change it.

Let's print safe for 'perf kvm stat record' options in addition to
general 'perf record' --help output.
