docs: mm: numaperf.rst Add brief description for access class 1.

Browse Source 
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).

The access class "1" is used to allow differentiation between initiators
that are CPUs and hence suitable for generic task scheduling, and
IO initiators such as GPUs and NICs. Unlike access class 0, only
nodes containing CPUs are considered.
