Subject: cpusets: document adding/removing cpus to cpuset elaborately

Writing a pid to the file, tasks 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.
