Docs/translations/*/admin-guide/mm/damon/usage: remove DAMON debugfs interface documentation

Patch series "mm/damon: remove DAMON debugfs interface".

DAMON debugfs interface was the only user interface of DAMON at the
beginning[1].  However, it turned out the interface would be not good
enough for long-term flexibility and stability.

In Feb 2022[2], we therefore introduced DAMON sysfs interface as an
alternative user interface that aims long-term flexibility and stability.
With its introduction, DAMON debugfs interface has announced to be
deprecated in near future.

In Feb 2023[3], we announced the official deprecation of DAMON debugfs
interface.  In Jan 2024[4], we further made the deprecation difficult to
be ignored.

In Oct 2024[5], we posted an RFC version of this patch series as the last
notice.

And as of this writing, no problem or concerns about the removal plan have
reported.  Apparently users are already moved to the alternative, or made
good plans for the change.

Remove the DAMON debugfs interface code from the tree.  Given the past
timeline and the absence of reported problems or concerns, it is safe
enough to be done.

This patch (of 8):

It's time to remove DAMON debugfs interface, which has deprecated long
before in February 2023.  Read the cover letter of this patch sereis for
more details.

Remove DAMON debugfs interface usage documentation and references to it
from translations, to avoid confusing users with documents for already
removed things.
