damon_start() function is designed to start multiple damon monitoring
contexts. But, sometimes we need to start monitoring one context.
Although __damon_start() could be considered to start for one monitoring
context, it seems reasonable to adopt a new function that does not need
to handle 'damon_lock' from the caller.
