Patch series "Introduce DAMON sysfs interface", v3.

Introduction
============

DAMON's debugfs-based user interface (DAMON_DBGFS) served very well, so
far.  However, it unnecessarily depends on debugfs, while DAMON is not
aimed to be used for only debugging.  Also, the interface receives
multiple values via one file.  For example, schemes file receives 18
values.  As a result, it is inefficient, hard to be used, and difficult to
be extended.  Especially, keeping backward compatibility of user space
tools is getting only challenging.  It would be better to implement
another reliable and flexible interface and deprecate DAMON_DBGFS in long
term.

For the reason, this patchset introduces a sysfs-based new user interface
of DAMON.  The idea of the new interface is, using directory hierarchies
and having one dedicated file for each value.  For a short example, users
can do the virtual address monitoring via the interface as below:

    # cd /sys/kernel/mm/da...
