[PATCH] Docs/mm/damon/design: fix a typo in the Address Unit section

[Shardul Deshpande]

The "Address Unit" section misspelled the C type that the DAMON core
layer uses for monitoring target address ranges.  Correct it to read
"unsigned long".

Well we don't want our longs to be singed.

`grep -ri singed .' shows quite a few typos.  "assinged" is popular. 
Perhaps you could prepare a patch which fixes them all and adds
"assinged" to scripts/spelling.txt?

Thank you!  I found you sent another patch having this change following
Andrew's comment.  So I reviewed there.
