Ah! I see the oversight in 4ddb1a2aa1a3c4 ("docs: cgroup-v1: wrap
remaining admonitions in admonition blocks") instead. I forgot to remove
mention to the deprecation notice, which is present in mm tree rather
than cgroups one...
The fixup makes the deprecation notice isn't consistent with other
admonitions in the doc (which have been wrapped), so I have recently sent
the wrapper patch for it at [1].
Thanks.
