[PATCH] Documentation: dmaengine: clean up description of dmatest usage

["Hook, Gary" <Gary.Hook@xxxxxxx>]

Fix the formatting of the multi-channel test usage example. Call out
the note about parameter ordering and add detail on the settings of
parameters for the new version of dmatest.

Fixes: f80f9988a26d7 ("dmaengine: Documentation: Add documentation for multi chan testing")

+.. note::
+  For all tests, starting in the 5.0 kernel, either single- or multi-channel,

+  that time that the existing parameter values are acquired for use by the
+  thread(s). All other parameters are shared. Therefore, if changes are made
+  to any of the other parameters, and an additional channel specified, the
+  (shared) parameters used for all threads will use the new values.
+  After the channels are specified, each thread is set as pending. All threads
+  begin execution when the run parameter is set to 1.
