Subject: [PATCH v1 2/2] cxl/Documentation: Add more description about min/max scrub cycle

user can configurare scrub cycle for a region or a memory device via
sysfs interface. Currently, these interfaces have not enough description
for the return value. So adding return value description to these
interfaces.
