[PATCH 2/3] Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/lru_sort: Fix copy-paste mistakes

[Adrian Huang (Lenovo)]

The DAMON_LRU_SORT documentation mistakenly refers to DAMON_RECLAIM
in a few places.

Fix these copy-paste mistakes to correctly refer to DAMON_LRU_SORT.

[PATCH 3/3] Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/usage: Fix incorrect option syntax in perf example

[Adrian Huang (Lenovo)]

The kill command in the DAMON documentation uses an incorrect
option syntax in the perf example.

Use kill -9 instead of kill 9 to correctly send SIGKILL to
the perf process.

Looks good to me, thank you.

I applied this series to damon/next [1] tree.  We are now quite close to next
merge window.  I'd like us (mm and damon community) to focus on making mm.git
more stabilized and therefore ready for the next merge window, rather than
adding more changes that are not really urgent.  I understand this series is
not really urgent.  Hence, Andrew might not add this patch until next -rc1
release.  In the case, I will request adding this to mm.git after next -rc1
release.  So, no action from your side is needed for now.  Let me know if I'm
missing something.
