Subject: Docs/mm/damon: move the list of DAMOS actions to design doc
Date: Fri, 16 Feb 2024 16:58:39 -0800

DAMOS operation actions are explained nearly twice on the DAMON usage document, once for the sysfs interface, and then again for the debugfs interface. Duplication is bad. Also it would better to keep this kind of concept level details in design document and keep the usage document small and focus on only the usage. Move the list to design document and update usage document to reference it.
