Add a warning message to check CONFIG_EXCLUDE_KERNEL_HW_ITRACE kernel

I'm not really knowledgeable at all about the perf subsystem so my
review doesn't hold a lot of weight. However, Sai's patch seems sane
to me.

Thanks for the review, I carefully modified all the patch commit messages
to change the config and wording from CONFIG_EXCLUDE_KERNEL_HW_ITRACE to
CONFIG_EXCLUDE_KERNEL_PMU_TRACE but missed this commit message. I will
fix this up in v3, but will hold off posting v3 till I get some feedback
on other patches.

Thanks,
Sai
