RISC-V: hwprobe: Clarify cpus size parameter
The "count" parameter associated with the 'cpus' parameter of the
hwprobe syscall is the size in bytes of 'cpus'. Naming it 'cpu_count'
may mislead users (it did me) to think it's the number of CPUs that
are or can be represented by 'cpus' instead. This is particularly
easy (IMO) to get wrong since 'cpus' is documented to be defined by
CPU_SET(3) and CPU_SET(3) also documents a CPU_COUNT() (the number
of CPUs in set) macro. CPU_SET(3) refers to the size of cpu sets
with 'setsize'. Adopt 'cpusetsize' for the hwprobe parameter and
specifically state it is in bytes in Documentation/riscv/hwprobe.rst
to clarify.
