Documentation: Document the kernel flag bdev_allow_write_mounted
Commit ed5cc702 ("block: Add config option to not allow writing to mounted devices") added a Kconfig option along with a kernel command-line tuning to control writes to mounted block devices, as a means to deal with fuzzers like Syzkaller, that provokes kernel crashes by directly writing on block devices bypassing the filesystem (so the FS has no awareness and cannot cope with that). The patch just missed adding such kernel command-line option to the kernel documentation, so let's fix that. Cc: Bart Van Assche <bvanassche@acm.org> Cc: Darrick J.
