[PATCH 3/6] perf config: Parse config variable arguments before getting functionality

[Taeung Song]

You can get several config items as below,

    # perf config report.queue-size call-graph.record-mode

but it would be needed to more precisely check arguments,
before show_spec_config() takes over the arguments.
The function would be also used when parse config key-value pairs
arguments in the near future.
