Update documentation describing sysfs node that could help to
configure isolation strategy for users in the user space. And
describing sysfs node that could read the device isolated state.

+Description:    (RW) Configure the frequency size for the hardware error
+                isolation strategy. This unit is the number of times. Number
+                of occurrences in a period, also means threshold. If the number
+                of device pci AER error exceeds the threshold in a time window,
+                the device is isolated. This size is a configured integer value.
+                The default is 0. The maximum value is 65535.
+
+                In the hisilicon accelerator engine, first we will
+                time-stamp every slot AER error. Then check the AER error log
+                when the device AER error occurred. if the device slot AER error
+                count exceeds the preset the number of times in one hour, the
+                isolated state will be set to true. So the device will be
+                isolated. And the AER error log that exceed one hour will be
+                cleared.
