Target region directories of DAMON sysfs interface should contain no
overlap and sorted by the address, but not clearly documented.
Actually, a user had an issue[1] due to the poor documentation. Add
clear description of it on the usage document.

DAMON debugfs interface assumes the users will write all inputs at once.
However, redirecting a string of multiple lines sometimes end up writing
line by line. Therefore, the example usage of 'init_regions' file,
which writes input as a string of multiple lines can fail. Fix it to
use a single line string instead. Also update the description of the
usage to not assume users will write inputs in multiple lines.
