perf docs: Refine the description for the buffer size

Current description for the AUX trace buffer size is misleading. When a
user specifies the option '-m,512M', it represents a size value in bytes
(512MiB) but not 512M pages (512M x 4KiB regard to a page of 4KiB).

Make the document clear that the normal buffer and the AUX tracing
buffer share the same semantics. Syncs the documents for consistent
text.
