[PATCH 5/5] perf list: specify metrics are to be used with -M

[Kim Phillips]

Output of 'perf list metrics' before:

  $ perf list metrics

  List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):

  Metrics:

    C2_Pkg_Residency
         [C2 residency percent per package]
  ...

This misleads the uninitiated user to try:

  $ perf stat -e C2_Pkg_Residency

which gets:

  event syntax error: 'C2_Pkg_Residency'
                       \___ parser error
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

Explicitly clarify that metrics and metricgroups are meant to
be used with -M, and correct the grammar for the -e equivalent
statement.

Output of 'perf list metrics' after:

  $ perf list metrics

  List of pre-defined events (to be used with -e):

  Metrics (to be used with -M):

    C2_Pkg_Residency
         [C2 residency percent per package]
  ...
