[PATCH v7 14/14] Documentation/filesystems/resctrl: Add footnote for telemetry fstab mount caveat

[Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>]

Add a footnote to the 'If telemetry monitoring is enabled' sentence noting
that because PMT driver enumerates telemetry features asynchronously, an
automatic mount of resctrl from /etc/fstab at boot may occur before those
features are available, resulting in them not being enabled.
