The following error message is reported when running the example in document.

  # timerlat hist -d 10m -c 0-4 -P d:100us:1ms -p 1ms --no-aa
  Failed to set timerlat period
  Could not apply config

The unit of the period is microsecond, '1ms' cannot be accepted.

  usage: [rtla] timerlat hist [-h] [-q] [-d s] [-D] [-n] [-a us] [-p us] [-i us] [-T us] [-s us] ...
         ...
	  -p/--period us: timerlat period in us
         ...

Also fix another minor missleading comment.

 In the example below, **rtla timerlat hist** is set to run for *10* minutes,
 in the cpus *0-4*, *skipping zero* only lines. Moreover, **rtla timerlat
 hist** will change the priority of the *timerlat* threads to run under
-*SCHED_DEADLINE* priority, with a *10us* runtime every *1ms* period. The
+*SCHED_DEADLINE* priority, with a *100us* runtime every *1ms* period. The
 *1ms* period is also passed to the *timerlat* tracer. Auto-analysis is disabled

right, but we could also parse the -p accordingly, no?

as well as the -r for osnoise and hwnoise... and other
us only parameters....
