[PATCH 07/11] perf top: Tell the user how to unfreeze events after pressing 'f'

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx>

When the user presses 'f' to disable events the visual cues are, well,
the percentages not changing and the number of events freezing.

Be more explicit by changing the help line at the bottom of the screen
to show the following messages when 'f' is pressed:

  "Press 'f' again to re-enable the events"

And then, when 'f' is pressed again:

  "Press 'f' to disable the events or 'h'
