Add ABI documentation for "caps" attribute group.
Some of the platform specific PMU features can be exposed
in "caps" attribute group/directory:
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/<dev>/

+Description:
+		Attribute group to describe the capabilities exposed
+		for a particular pmu. Each attribute of this group can
+		expose information specific to a PMU, say pmu_name, so that
+		userspace can understand some of the feature which the
+		platform specific PMU supports.
+
+		One of the example available capability in supported platform
+		like Intel is pmu_name, which exposes underlying CPU name known
+		to the PMU driver.
+
+		Example output in powerpc:
+		grep -H . /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/caps/*
+		/sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/caps/pmu_name:POWER9
