perf tools: Provide the right bash completion for listing options of perf subcommand subsubcommand



The bash completion gives wrong options for 'perf kvm|kmem|mem|lock|
sched subsubcommand --<TAB>', where 'kvm|kmem|mem|lock|sched' are all
subcommands of perf and 'subsubcommand' is a subcommand of 'kvm|kmem|mem
|lock|sched'. In fact, the result incorrectly lists the bash completion
of 'perf subcommand' rather than 'perf subcommand subsubcommand'.

Example:

Before this patch:

 $ perf kvm record --<TAB>
 --guest          --guestkallsyms  --guestmodules   --guestmount
 --guestvmlinux   --host           --input          --output
 --verbose

As shown above, the result is the options of kvm rather than record.

After this patch:

 $ perf kvm record --<TAB>
 --all-cpus          --cgroup            --delay             --group
 --no-buildid        --output            --quiet             --stat
 --uid
 --branch-any        --count             --event             --intr-regs
 --no-buildid-cache  --period            --raw-samples       --tid
 --verbose
 --branch-filter     --cpu               --filter            --mmap-pages
 --no-inherit        --per-thread        --realtime          --timestamp
 --weight
 --call-graph        --data              --freq
 --no-buffering      --no-samples        --pid
 --running-time      --transaction

As shown above, the result is exactly the options of record as we wished.
