perf bench numa: Add more comment for -c option
Adding more commentary for -c/--show_convergence option, to explain how the convergence is defined. Before: -c, --show_convergence show convergence details Now: -c, --show_convergence convergence is reached when each process \ (all its threads) is running on a single NUMA node.
