[PATCH v2 5/5] tracing/user_events: Add persist flag documentation

[Beau Belgrave <beaub@linux.microsoft.com>]

There is now a flag for user_events to use when registering events to
have events continue to exist upon the last reference put. Add the new
flag, USER_EVENT_REG_PERSIST, to user_events documentation files to let
people know when to use it.
