A couplt of sentences on maintainer-profile.rst are having reference
links for mm-unstable and mm-stable trees with wrong rst markup. Fix
those.

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.

The list of DAMON operation sets and their explanation, which may better
to be on design document, is written on the usage document. Move the
detail to design document and make the usage document only reference the
design document.
