Xie XiuQi 81ec384b80 rtla: fix a example in rtla-timerlat-hist.rst
The following error message is reported when running the example in document.

  # timerlat hist -d 10m -c 0-4 -P d:100us:1ms -p 1ms --no-aa
  Failed to set timerlat period
  Could not apply config

The unit of the period is microsecond, '1ms' cannot be accepted.

  usage: [rtla] timerlat hist [-h] [-q] [-d s] [-D] [-n] [-a us] [-p us] [-i us] [-T us] [-s us] ...
         ...
	  -p/--period us: timerlat period in us
         ...

Also fix another minor missleading comment.

SYNOPSIS
========
**rtla timerlat hist** [*OPTIONS*] ...
DESCRIPTION
===========
.. include:: common_timerlat_description.rst
The **rtla timerlat hist** displays a histogram of each tracer event
occurrence. This tool uses the periodic information, and the
**osnoise:** tracepoints are enabled when using the **-T** option.
OPTIONS
=======
.. include:: common_timerlat_options.rst
.. include:: common_hist_options.rst
.. include:: common_options.rst
.. include:: common_timerlat_aa.rst
EXAMPLE
=======
In the example below, **rtla timerlat hist** is set to run for *10* minutes,
in the cpus *0-4*, *skipping zero* only lines. Moreover, **rtla timerlat
hist** will change the priority of the *timerlat* threads to run under
*SCHED_DEADLINE* priority, with a *100us* runtime every *1ms* period. The
*1ms* period is also passed to the *timerlat* tracer. Auto-analysis is disabled
to reduce overhead ::
[root@alien ~]# timerlat hist -d 10m -c 0-4 -P d:100us:1ms -p 1000 --no-aa
