USB: update documentation for usbmon
commit d8cae98cddd286e38db1724dda1b0e7b467f9237 upstream. The documentation for usbmon is out of date; the usbfs "devices" file now exists in /sys/kernel/debug/usb rather than /proc/bus/usb. This patch (as1505) updates the documentation accordingly, and also mentions that the necessary information can be found by running lsusb.
