Documentation: ABI: /sys/devices/system/cpu/ topology files

Add brief descriptions for the following sysfs files:

	/sys/devices/system/cpu/kernel_max
	/sys/devices/system/cpu/offline
	/sys/devices/system/cpu/online
	/sys/devices/system/cpu/possible
	/sys/devices/system/cpu/present

Excerpted the relevant information from Documentation/cputopology.txt
and pointed back to cputopology.txt as the authoritative source of
information.

+Description:   CPU topology files that describe kernel limits related to
+               hotplug. Briefly:
+
+               kernel_max: the maximum cpu index allowed by the kernel
+               configuration.
+
+               offline: cpus that are not online because they have been
+               HOTPLUGGED off or exceed the limit of cpus allowed by the
+               kernel configuration (kernel_max above).
+
+               online: cpus that are online and being scheduled.
+
+               possible: cpus that have been allocated resources and can be
+               brought online if they are present.
+
+               present: cpus that have been identified as being present in
+               the system.
+
+               See Documentation/cputopology.txt for more information.
