mm/damon/dbgfs/init_regions: use target index instead of target id
Patch series "Remove the type-unclear target id concept". DAMON asks each monitoring target ('struct damon_target') to have one 'unsigned long' integer called 'id', which should be unique among the targets of same monitoring context. Meaning of it is, however, totally up to the monitoring primitives that registered to the monitoring context. For example, the virtual address spaces monitoring primitives treats the id as a 'struct pid' pointer. This makes the code flexible but ugly, not well-documented, and type-unsafe[1]. Also, identification of each target can be done via its index. For the reason, this patchset removes the concept and uses clear type definition.

For example, it means 'struct pid *' for the virtual address spaces monitoring, while it means nothing but an integer to be displayed to debugfs interface users for the physical address space monitoring. It's flexible but makes code ugly and type-unsafe[1]. To be prepared for eventual removal of the concept, this commit removes a use case of the concept in 'init_regions' debugfs file handling. In detail, this commit replaces use of the id with the index of each target in the context's targets list.
