cpusets: document adding/removing cpus to cpuset elaborately

Browse Source 
By writing a tasks's pid to the file, a process adds that task to that
cgroup/cpuset.  But to add a cpu/mem to a cpuset, the new list of cpus
should be written to the cpuset.mems file which would replace the old list
of cpus.  Make this clearer in the documentation.

@ -777,6 +777,18 @@ in cpuset directories:
# /bin/echo 1-4 > cpus -> set cpus list to cpus 1,2,3,4
# /bin/echo 1,2,3,4 > cpus -> set cpus list to cpus 1,2,3,4
To add a CPU to a cpuset, write the new list of CPUs including the
CPU to be added. To add 6 to the above cpuset:
# /bin/echo 1-4,6 > cpus -> set cpus list to cpus 1,2,3,4,6
Similarly to remove a CPU from a cpuset, write the new list of CPUs
without the CPU to be removed.
To remove all the CPUs:
# /bin/echo "" > cpus -> clear cpus list
