Barry Song ff0b5905a9 Docs/mm/damon/design: remove the details for pageout as paddr doesn't use MADV_PAGEOUT
The doc needs a fix.  As only in the case of virtual address, we are
calling madvise() with MADV_PAGEOUT.  But in the case of physical address,
we are calling reclaim_pages() directly.  MADV_PAGEOUT on virtual address
is much more aggresive to reclaim memory compared to reclaim_pages() on
paddr region.  This patch removes the details so that the description can
apply to both cases.  And we don't need to couple with the implementation
details.
