[PATCH 10/10] Docs/mm/damon/maintainer-profile: allow posting patches based on damon/next tree

The document mentions any patches for review should based on mm-unstable
instead of damon/next. It should be the recommended process, but
sometimes patches based on damon/next could be posted for some reasons.
Actually, the DAMON-based tiered memory management patchset[1] was
written on top of 'young page' DAMOS filter patchset, which was in
damon/next tree as of the writing.

Allow such case and just ask such things to be clearly specified.
