Assuming Matthiew's good finding will be fixed,

Acked-by: SeongJae Park <sj@...nel.org>

Fwiw, the typo is also on the .../sysctl/vm.rst part.  And from the finding, I
was wondering if it is better to put the description only one of two documents
rather than having the duplication, and further if the 'Usage:' part of
allocation-profiling.rst is better to be moved to
'Documentation/admin-guide/mm/'.  But I ended up thinking those are too trivial
and small things.


Thanks,
SJ
