perf kvm: Add more detail about buildid-list in man page

As the buildid is read from /sys/kernel/notes, then if we use perf kvm
buildid-list with a perf data file captured by perf kvm record with
--guestkallsyms and --guestmodules, there is no result in output.

This patch add a explanation about it and add a limit of using perf kvm
buildid-list.
