From: Borislav Petkov <redacted>

This patch has been added to the 3.18 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

[ Upstream commit f594bae08183fb6b57db55387794ece3e1edf6f6 ]

I'm surprised this remained undocumented since at least 2011. And it is
actually a very useful switch, as Steve and I came to realize recently.

Add the text from

  2cba3ffb9a9d ("perf stat: Add -d -d and -d -d -d options to show more CPU events")

which added the incrementing aspect to -d.
