[PATCH 04/11] Docs/mm/damon/design: explicitly introduce ``nr_accesses``

From: SeongJae Park
Date: Wed Sep 06 2023 - 22:29:52 EST


The design document is explaining about the access tracking mechanism
and the access rate counter (nr_accesses), but not directly mentions the
name. Add a sentence for making it clear.

This scheme, however, cannot preserve the quality of the output if the
assumption is not guaranteed.
