Guenter Roeck f4e0bcf06b hwmon: (coretemp) Add comments describing the handling of HT CPUs
The coretemp driver provides a single set of device attributes for each
physical core of a HT CPU to avoid duplicate sensors.  This
functionality was introduced with commit d883b9f09772 ("hwmon:
(coretemp) Skip duplicate CPU entries").

Commit e40cc4bdfd4b ("x86/hwmon: register alternate sibling upon CPU
removal") extends this functionality to register the HT sibling of a CPU
which is taken offline, to ensure that sensor attributes are provided if
at least one HT sibling of a core is online.

Add comments into the code describing the functionality in some more
detail.
