Changes from v1

- Split DAMON debugfs file open warning message (Randy Dunlap)

-----

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

Though the announcement was there for a while, some people might not
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.
