perf annotate: Add comment clarifying how the source code line is parsed

The source code line number (lineno) needs to be kept in accross calls
to symbol__parse_objdump_line() when parsing the output of 'objdump -l
-dS', so that it can associate it with the instructions till the next
line.

See disasm_line__new() and struct disasm_line::line_nr.
