[PATCH 1/2] Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/reclaim: warn commit_inputs vs param updates race

[SeongJae Park]

DAMON_RECLAIM handles commit_inputs request inside kdamond thread,
reading the module parameters.  If the user updates the module
parameters while the kdamond thread is reading those, races can happen.
To avoid this, the commit_inputs parameter shows whether it is still in
the progress, assuming users wouldn't update parameters in the middle of
the work.  Some users might ignore that.  Add a warning about the
behavior.

The issue was discovered [1] by sashiko.
