docs: cputopology: move the sysfs ABI description to right place

Documentation/admin-guide/cputopology.rst is the wrong place to describe
sysfs ABI. So move the cputopology ABI things to
Documentation/ABI/stable/sysfs-devices-system-cpu and add a reference to
ABI doc in Documentation/admin-guide/cputopology.rst.

How CPU topology info is exported via sysfs
===========================================
Export CPU topology info via sysfs. Items (attributes) are similar
to /proc/cpuinfo output of some architectures. They reside in
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/:
physical_package_id:
physical package id of cpuX. Typically corresponds to a physical
socket number, but the actual value is architecture and platform
dependent.
die_id:
the CPU die ID of cpuX. Typically it is the hardware platform's
identifier (rather than the kernel's). The actual value is
architecture and platform dependent.
core_id:
the CPU core ID of cpuX. Typically it is the hardware platform's
identifier (rather than the kernel's). The actual value is
architecture and platform dependent.
book_id:
the book ID of cpuX. Typically it is the hardware platform's
identifier (rather than the kernel's). The actual value is
architecture and platform dependent.
drawer_id:
the drawer ID of cpuX. Typically it is the hardware platform's
identifier (rather than the kernel's). The actual value is
architecture and platform dependent.
core_cpus:
internal kernel map of CPUs within the same core.
(deprecated name: "thread_siblings")
core_cpus_list:
human-readable list of CPUs within the same core.
(deprecated name: "thread_siblings_list");
package_cpus:
internal kernel map of the CPUs sharing the same physical_package_id.
(deprecated name: "core_siblings")
package_cpus_list:
human-readable list of CPUs sharing the same physical_package_id.
(deprecated name: "core_siblings_list")
die_cpus:
internal kernel map of CPUs within the same die.
die_cpus_list:
human-readable list of CPUs within the same die.
book_siblings:
internal kernel map of cpuX's hardware threads within the same
book_id.
book_siblings_list:
human-readable list of cpuX's hardware threads within the same
book_id.
drawer_siblings:
internal kernel map of cpuX's hardware threads within the same
drawer_id.
drawer_siblings_list:
human-readable list of cpuX's hardware threads within the same
drawer_id.
CPU topology info is exported via sysfs. Items (attributes) are similar
to /proc/cpuinfo output of some architectures. They reside in
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/. Please refer to the ABI file:
Documentation/ABI/stable/sysfs-devices-system-cpu.
Architecture-neutral, drivers/base/topology.c, exports these attributes.
However, the book and drawer related sysfs files will only be created if
