[PATCH 01/14] mm/damon/core: add a new callback for watermarks checks

[sj@xxxxxxxxxx]

From: SeongJae Park <sj@xxxxxxxxxx>

For updating input parameters for running DAMON contexts, DAMON kernel
API users can use the contexts' callbacks, as it is the safe place for
context internal data accesses.  When the context has DAMON-based
operation schemes and all schemes are deactivated due to their
watermarks, however, DAMON does nothing but only watermarks checks.  As
a result, no callbacks will be called back, and therefore the kernel API
users cannot update the input parameters including monitoring
attributes, DAMON-based operation schemes, and watermarks.

To let users easily update such DAMON input parameters in such a case,
this commit adds a new callback, 'after_wmarks_check()'.  It will be
called after each watermarks check.  Users can do the online input
parameters update in the callback even under the schemes deactivated
case.
