Documentation: update /proc/stat "intr" count summary

The sum at the beginning of line "intr" includes also unnumbered
interrupts.  It implies that the sum at the beginning isn't the sum
of the remainder of the line, not even an estimation.

Fixed the documentation to mention that.

This behaviour was added to /proc/stat in commit a2eddfa959 ("x86:
make /proc/stat account for all interrupts")

The "intr" line gives counts of interrupts serviced since boot time, for each
of the possible system interrupts. The first column is the total of all
interrupts serviced; each subsequent column is the total for that particular
interrupt.

Unnumbered interrupts are not shown, only summed into the total.
The "ctxt" line gives the total number of context switches across all CPUs.
