perf.data documentation: Clarify HEADER_SAMPLE_TOPOLOGY format

The perf.data file format documentation for HEADER_SAMPLE_TOPOLOGY
specifies the layout in a confusing manner that doesn't match the rest
of the document.  This patch attempts to describe things consistent with
the rest of the file.

 The format of data in MEM_TOPOLOGY is as follows:
 
-   0 - version          | for future changes
-   8 - block_size_bytes | /sys/devices/system/memory/block_size_bytes
-  16 - count            | number of nodes

-For each node we store map of physical indexes:
-
-  32 - node id          | node index
-  40 - size             | size of bitmap
-  48 - bitmap           | bitmap of memory indexes that belongs to node
