docs: perf: Update usage for target filter of hisi-pcie-pmu
One of the "port" and "bdf" target filter interface must be set, and the related events should preferably used in the same group. Update the usage in the documentation.

+The related events usually used to calculate the bandwidth, latency or others.
+They need to start and end counting at the same time, therefore related events
+are best used in the same event group to get the expected value. There are two
+ways to know if they are related events:
+a) By event name, such as the latency events "xxx_latency, xxx_cnt" or
+ bandwidth events "xxx_flux, xxx_time".
+b) By event type, such as "event=0xXXXX, event=0x1XXXX".
