Tell where interrupts data come from in mpstat manual page

mpstat manual page now tells that interrupts data displayed by
mpstat -I CPU come from /proc/interrupts file, and that interrupts data
displayed by mpstat -I SCPU come from /proc/softirqs file, so that the
meaning of each interrupts can be more easily understood by users.
