[PATCH 55/75] perf top: Display slow reader warning when droping samples

From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>

Currently we display the "Too slow to read ring buffer.." helpline only
in the slow reader thread. This patch triggers it also when the
processing thread drops samples, because it has the same reason, which
is too many data on input.
