[RFC PATCH 07/12] mm/damon/core: implement max_nr_snapshots

[SeongJae Park <sj@kernel.org>]

There are DAMOS use cases that require user-space centric control of its
activation and deactivation.  Having the control plane on the
user-space, or using DAMOS as a way for monitoring results collection
are such examples.

DAMON parameters online commit, DAMOS quotas and watermarks can be
useful for this purpose.  However, those features work only at the
sub-DAMON-snapshot level.  In some use cases, the DAMON-snapshot level
control is required.  For example, in DAMOS-based monitoring results
collection use case, the user online-installs a DAMOS scheme with
DAMOS_STAT action, wait it be applied to whole regions of a single
DAMON-snapshot, retrieves the stats and tried regions information, and
online-uninstall the scheme.  It is efficient to ensure the lifetime of
the scheme as no more no less one snapshot consumption.

To support such use cases, introduce a new DAMOS core API per-scheme
parameter, namely max_nr_snapshots.  As the name implies, it is the
upper limit of nr_snapshots, which is a DAMOS stat that represents the
number of DAMON-snapshots that the scheme has fully applied.  If the
limit is set with a non-zero value and nr_snapshots reaches or exceeds
the limit, the scheme is deactivated.
