[PATCH] tools/power/x86/amd_pstate_tracer: Fix python gnuplot package names

[Kuan-Wei Chiu]

The prerequisites section listed non-existent packages
"phython-gnuplot" and "phython3-gnuplot", which may mislead users and
cause installation failures.

Update the names to the correct distribution package names
"python-gnuplot" and "python3-gnuplot", helping users avoid confusion
and saving time for those following the instructions.

Thanks for your review!

Since the merge window is likely opening in less than a week and this
patch has already been submitted and reviewed for about a month, I
noticed it still hasn't shown up in linux-next.

May I ask how we plan to route this patch?

Regards,
Kuan-Wei

Sorry about that!  I had thought being tools/ someone else would pick it 
up, but I suppose it does make sense to go through amd-pstate (followed 
by linux-pm).  I've picked it up and will send out a PR for linux-pm 
tomorrow or Thursday.
