Subject: [PATCH 4/6] zram: describe device attrs in documentation

Briefly describe exported device stat attrs in zram documentation.
We will eventually get rid of per-stat sysfs nodes and, thus,
clean up Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-block-zram file, which is
the only source of information about device sysfs nodes.

Add `num_migrated' description, since there is no independent
`num_migrated' sysfs node (and no corresponding sysfs-block-zram
entry), it will be exported via zram<id>/mm_stat file.

At this point we can provide minimal attrs description, because
sysfs-block-zram still contains detailed information.
