Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/usage: update the ways for getting monitoring results
The recommended ways for getting DAMON monitoring results are using tried_regions sysfs directory for partial snapshot of the results, and DAMON tracepoint for full record of the results. However, the tried_regions sysfs directory usage has not sufficiently updated on some sections of the DAMON usage document. Update those.
