docs: mm: numaperf.rst Add brief description for access class 1.
Try to make minimal changes to the document which already describes access class 0 in a generic fashion (including IO initiatiors that are not CPUs). Signed-off-by: Jonathan Cameron <Jonathan.Cameron@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
