Subject: [PATCH 1/4] perf: Add comment about current state of PERF_MEM_LVL_* namespace and remove an extra line

Add a comment about PERF_MEM_LVL_* namespace being depricated
to some extent in favour of added PERF_MEM_{LVLNUM_,REMOTE_,SNOOPX_}
fields.

Remove an extra line present in perf_mem__lvl_scnprintf function.
