[PATCH 6/8] docs: explain procs_running better

[Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net>]

From:	Luis Garces-Erice <lge@ieee.org>
Subject: Doc: better explanation of procs_running

the description in Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt of the
procs_running entry in /proc/stat is confusing (according to that
description, it looks as if procs_running could only be a number
between 0 and the number of CPUs).

Changed it to a more accurate description in the patch attached.
