[PATCH v2 8/8] docs: perf: Update usage for target filter of hisi-pcie-pmu

[Yicong Yang]

From: Junhao He <hejunhao3@xxxxxxxxxx>

One of the "port" and "bdf" target filter interface must be set, and
the related events should preferably used in the same group.
Update the usage in the documentation.

+The related events usually used to calculate the bandwidth, latency or others.
+They need to start and end counting at the same time, therefore related events
+are best used in the same event group to get the expected value. There are two
+ways to know if they are related events:
+a) By event name, such as the latency events "xxx_latency, xxx_cnt" or
+   bandwidth events "xxx_flux, xxx_time".
+b) By event type, such as "event=0xXXXX, event=0x1XXXX".

 The current driver does not support sampling. So "perf record" is unsupported.
