  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.
