Jin Yao 0b49f83657 perf report: Support --percent-limit for --total-cycles
We have already supported the '--total-cycles' option in previous patch.
It's also useful to show entries only above a threshold percent.

This patch enables '--percent-limit' for not showing entries
under that percent.

For example:

 perf report --total-cycles --stdio --percent-limit 1

 # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
 #
 #
 # Total Lost Samples: 0
 #
 # Samples: 2M of event 'cycles'
 # Event count (approx.): 2753248

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
