[PATCH v2] perf kmem: Show warning when trying to run stat without record

[Namhyung Kim]

Sometimes one can mistakenly run perf kmem stat without perf kmem
record before or different configuration like recoding --slab and stat
--page.  Show a warning message like below to inform user:

  # perf kmem stat --page --caller
  Not found page events.  Have you run 'perf kmem record --page' before?

Use perf_evlist__find_tracepoint_by_name().
