Docs/mm/damon: document exclusivity of special-purpose modules
Add a section in design.rst to explain that DAMON special-purpose kernel
modules (LRU_SORT, RECLAIM, STAT) run in an exclusive manner and return
-EBUSY if another is already running.
Update lru_sort.rst, reclaim.rst and stat.rst by adding cross-references
to this exclusivity rule at the end of their respective Example sections.
This change is motivated from another discussion [1].
