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 description, because sysfs-block-zram still contains detailed information.
