Subject: [PATCH 05/12] perf top: Moving lost events warning to helpline

We can't display the UI box saying that we are slow in reader
thread. That will make perf top even slower and user even more
angry ;-)

Moving the UI box message out of the reader thread into UI thread
and changing it into helpline, so there's no 'press any key'
necessary.
