perf stat: flip around ':k' and ':u' flags 

This output:

 $ perf stat -e 0:1:k -e 0:1:u ./hello
  Performance counter stats for './hello':
          140131  instructions         (events)
         1906968  instructions         (events)

Is quite confusing - as :k means "user instructions", :u means
"kernel instructions".

Flip them around - as the 'exclude' property is not intuitive in
the flag naming.
