Subject: [Patch v2 6/6] perf tools kvm: Use "cycles" to sample guest for "kvm top" on Intel

As same reason with previous patch, use "cyles" instead of "cycles:P"
event by default to sample guest for "perf kvm top" command on Intel
platforms.

Reported-by: Kevin Tian <kevin.tian@...el.com>
Fixes: 634d36f82517 ("perf record: Just use "cycles:P" as the default event")
Signed-off-by: Dapeng Mi <dapeng1.mi@...ux.intel.com>
