cpufreq: Update Documentation for cpus and related_cpus

Browse source 
Documentation related to cpus and related_cpus is confusing and not very clear.
Over that CPUFreq core has seen much changes recently. Lets update documentation
and comments for cpus and related_cpus.

For setting some of these values, the frequency table helpers might be
helpful. See the section 2 for more information on them.
SMP systems normally have same clock source for a group of cpus. For these the
.init() would be called only once for the first online cpu. Here the .init()
routine must initialize policy->cpus with mask of all possible cpus (Online +
Offline) that share the clock. Then the core would copy this mask onto
policy->related_cpus and will reset policy->cpus to carry only online cpus.
