SeongJae Park 5445fcbc4c Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/usage: add DAMON debugfs interface deprecation notice
Patch series "mm/damon: deprecate DAMON debugfs interface".

DAMON debugfs interface has announced to be deprecated after >v5.15 LTS
kernel is released.  And v6.1.y has been announced to be an LTS[1].

Though the announcement was there for a while, some people might not have
noticed that so far.  Also, some users could depend on it and have
problems at movng to the alternative (DAMON sysfs interface).

For such cases, keep the code and documents with warning messages and
contacts to ask helps for the deprecation.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
