Subject: [PATCH 6/7] Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/start: mention the dependency as sysfs instead of debugfs

'Getting Started' document of DAMON says DAMON user-space tool, damo[1],
is using DAMON debugfs interface, and therefore it needs to ensure
debugfs is mounted.  However, the latest version of the tool is using
DAMON sysfs interface.  Moreover, DAMON debugfs interface is going to be
deprecated as announced by commit b18402726bd1
("Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/usage: document DAMON sysfs interface").

This commit therefore update the document to tell readers about DAMON
sysfs interface dependency instead and never mention about debugfs
interface, which will be deprecated.

-Because DAMO is using the debugfs interface (refer to :doc:`usage` for the

-below::
-
-    # mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug/
