Subject: [PATCH] perf script: Add option to display guest samples in host

By default, 'perf script' always exclude guest samples in host.
However, for some tracepoint events(e.g. sched_switch), the tracing
output lost sched_out samples for vcpu thread if 'perf script'
filter guest samples, which is confusing. Therefore, it'd be better
to display guest samples together with host samples.

Add '--show-guest-samples' option to display guest samples in host.

Without --show-guest-samples option,
