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.
