Subject: [PATCH 28/29] perf report: Update documention of --percent-limit option

See http://www.infradead.org/rpr.html

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

The --percent-limit option was changed to be applied to callchains as
well as to hist entries recently, but it missed to update the doc.
