Subject: [PATCH] docs: document the sysfs ABI for "nohz_full" and "isolated"

Add missing documentation of sysfs ABI for "nohz_full" and "isolated".
"nohz_full" was added by commit 6570a9a1ce3a("show nohz_full cpus in
sysfs") and "isolated" was added by commit 59f30abe94bf("show isolated
cpus in sysfs"). However, there is no documentation for these
interface.
