kfence: add note to documentation about skipping covered allocations

mainline inclusion
from mainline-v5.16-rc1
commit 5cc906b4
category: feature
bugzilla: 185780 https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I4EUY7

Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=5cc906b4b4a510b274113ddb3f88d60644553f79

-----------------------------------------------

Add a note briefly mentioning the new policy about "skipping currently
covered allocations if pool close to full." Since this has a notable
impact on KFENCE's bug-detection ability on systems with large uptimes,
it is worth pointing out the feature.
