My understanding of our last discussion was that 'HOT/COLD' here is only for
prioritization score function.  If I'm not wrong, this is not for targeting,
but just prioritize migrating hot pages first under the quota.

As commented on the previous patch, this could be bit re-phrased.
Also, let's use tabs consistently.

It looks like we don't need MIG_MIGRATE_HOT and MIG_MIGRATE_COLD in real, but
just one, say, MIG_MIGRATE, since the code can know if it should use what
prioritization score function with DAMOS action?

Also, as I commented on the previous one, I'd prefer having DAMOS_ prefix.

We agreed to this check via 'young' page type DAMOS filter, and let this
doesn't care about it, right?  If I'm not wrong, I think this should be
removed?
