Subject: [PATCH 2/4] Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/usage: Update for changed initail_regions file input

A previous commit made init_regions debugfs file to use target index
instead of target id for specifying the target of the init regions.
This commit updates the usage document to reflect the change.
