Subject: mm/damon: document damon_call_control->dealloc_on_cancel repeat behavior
Date: Sat, 17 Jan 2026 09:52:52 -0800

damon_call_control->dealloc_on_cancel works only when ->repeat is true. 
But the behavior is not clearly documented.  DAMON API callers can
understand the behavior only after reading kdamond_call() code.  Document
the behavior on the kernel-doc comment of damon_call_control.
