NTB: Describe the ntb_msi_test client in the documentation. 

Add a blurb in Documentation/ntb.txt to describe the ntb_msi_test tool's
debugfs interface. Similar to the (out of date) ntb_tool description.

NTB MSI Test Client (ntb\_msi\_test)
------------------------------------
The MSI test client serves to test and debug the MSI library which
allows for passing MSI interrupts across NTB memory windows. The
test client is interacted with through the debugfs filesystem:
* *debugfs*/ntb\_tool/*hw*/
A directory in debugfs will be created for each
NTB device probed by the tool. This directory is shortened to *hw*
below.
* *hw*/port
This file describes the local port number
* *hw*/irq*_occurrences
One occurrences file exists for each interrupt and, when read,
returns the number of times the interrupt has been triggered.
* *hw*/peer*/port
This file describes the port number for each peer
* *hw*/peer*/count
This file describes the number of interrupts that can be
triggered on each peer
* *hw*/peer*/trigger
Writing an interrupt number (any number less than the value
specified in count) will trigger the interrupt on the
specified peer. That peer's interrupt's occurrence file
should be incremented.
