cpusets: document adding/removing cpus to cpuset elaborately
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.
