On platforms with large number of Pstates, the transition table, which
is a NxN matrix, can overflow beyond the PAGE_SIZE boundary.
This can be seen on POWER9 which has 100+ Pstates.
As a result, each time the trans_table is read for any of the CPUs, we
will get the following error.
---------------------------------------------------
fill_read_buffer: show+0x0/0xa0 returned bad count
---------------------------------------------------
This patch ensures that in case of an overflow, we print a warning
once in the dmesg and return FILE TOO LARGE error for this and all
subsequent accesses of trans_table.

The cpufreq core has gone though lots of updates in recent times, but on
many occasions the documentation wasn't updated along with the code.
This patch tries to catchup the documentation with the code.
Also add Rafael and Viresh as the contributors to the documentation.
Based on a patch from Claudio Scordino.

The cpufreq-stats code can no longer be built as a module, so it now
appears with square brackets in menuconfig.
