perf trace: Add usage of --no-syscalls in man page
perf trace supports --no-syscalls option but it's not listed in the man
page. (Though, I see an example using --no-syscalls in EXAMPLES
section.)
Committer note:
The --no-syscalls option tells 'perf trace' not to automagically ask for
raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit} to then format it in a strace like way.
This become more used as 'perf trace' got support for arbitrary events,
such as tracepoints, so more and more we use:
# perf trace --no-syscalls -e nmi:*
0.000 nmi:nmi_handler:perf_event_nmi_handler() delta_ns: 36649 handled: 1)
0.019 nmi:nmi_handler:nmi_cpu_backtrace_handler() delta_ns: 2907 handled: 0)
0.676 nmi:nmi_handler:perf_event_nmi_handler() delta_ns: 9401 handled: 1)
