USB: update documentation for usbmon

Browse Source 
The documentation for usbmon is out of date; the usbfs "devices" file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.

2. Find which bus connects to the desired device
Run "cat /proc/bus/usb/devices", and find the T-line which corresponds to
the device. Usually you do it by looking for the vendor string. If you have
many similar devices, unplug one and compare two /proc/bus/usb/devices outputs.
The T-line will have a bus number. Example:

Bus=03 means it's bus 3.
"Bus=03" means it's bus 3. Alternatively, you can look at the output from
"lsusb" and get the bus number from the appropriate line. Example:
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0557:2004 ATEN UC100KM V2.00
