Subject: [for-next][PATCH 2/6] doc: trace: Fix documentation for uprobe_profile

From: Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

uprobe_profile has filename and number of probe hits information for
each uprobe event. The documentation erroneously talks about probe
mis-hits. Update the documentation to the correct information.
