perf annotate: Add comment about annotated_src->nr_histograms
When we have multiple groups in an evlist, say: $ perf stat -e '{cycles,instructions},{cache-references,cache-misses}' sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1': 343,134 cycles:u 249,292 instructions:u # 0.73 insn per cycle 15,556 cache-references:u 8,925 cache-misses:u # 57.373 % of all cache refs 1.000957550 seconds time elapsed $ Then the perf_evsel instances for the two group leaders ("cycles" and "cache-references") will have evsel->nr_members set to 2, while all the evsel->evlist->nr_entries will be set to 4, so we can't use evsel->evlist->nr_entries everywhere, as event groups need to be taken into account. But this probably requires us to audit at least the forced-group code, where we want all of the events to be in a "group", to see them all in the screen, one column for each, even knowing that they were not necessarily scheduled to count at the same time by the kernel perf subsystem.
