Documentation: ABI: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/ topology files
Add brief descriptions for the following sysfs files:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/topology/core_id
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/topology/core_siblings
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/topology/core_siblings_list
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/topology/physical_package_id
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/topology/thread_siblings
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/topology/thread_siblings_list
The descriptions in Documentation/cputopology.txt weren't very
informative, so I attempted a better description based on code
reading and hopeful guessing.
Updated Documentation/cputopology.txt with the better descriptions and
fixed some style issues.
