[PATCH 09/11] mm/damon/core: add more comments for nr_accesses

[SeongJae Park <sj@kernel.org>]

The comment on struct damon_region about nr_accesses field looks not
sufficient.  Many people actually used to ask what nr_accesses mean.
There is more detailed explanation of the mechanism on the comment for
struct damon_attrs, but it is also ambiguous, as it doesn't specify the
name of the counter for aggregating the access check results.  Make
those more detailed.
