perf kmem: Improve man page for record options

Since:

  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200708183919.4141023-1-irogers@google.com/

The output option works for 'perf kmem', however, it must appear after
'record'. This is different to 'stat' where '-i' for the input must
appear before. Try to capture this complication in the man page.
