USB: update documentation for usbmon

The documentation for usbmon is out of date; the usbfs "devices" file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

The T-line will have a bus number. Example: /sys/kernel/debug/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
