Subject: [PATCH] Documentation/vm/page_owner.rst: fix commends

There are some commends that need to be fixed.

Thanks for Shuah Khan's constructive suggestions.
The commends have been fixed as follows.

a. So, if you'd like to use it, you need
to add "page_owner=on" into your boot cmdline.

Here, "into" has been replaced with "to".

b. ...page owner is disabled in runtime due to no
enabling, boot option, runtime overhead is marginal.

Here, "no" has been replaced with "not".

The file changes look good.
The Subject and patch description should use "comments"
instead of "commends".

thanks.
