[PATCH v2] Documentation/proc.txt: Add 2 missing fields for /proc/<pid>/status

From: Waiman Long
Date: Tue Oct 23 2018 - 17:26:00 EST


It was found that two of the fields in the /proc/<pid>/status file were
missing - CapAmb & Speculation_Store_Bypass. They are now added to the
proc.txt documentation file.

v2: Update the example as well.
