Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/stat: document aggr_interval_us parameter
Commit cc7ceb1d14b0 ("mm/damon/stat: expose the current tuned aggregation interval"), has introduced 'aggr_interval_us' parameter for DAMON_STAT. But the new parameter is not yet documented. Document it on the usage document for the module.
