[PATCH] mm/damon/core: reinitialize when passed_sample_intervals occurred overflow

[JaeJoon Jung]

To concisely explain the variables that calculate the time flow in
kdamond_fn(), we write them as follows:

unsigned long ctx->passed_sample_intervals: c.psi
unsigned long ctx->next_ops_update_sis: c.nui

Normal:
[-----------------+---------------+-------------------+----------]
                c.psi           c.nui
                  --------------->              next c.nui
                        if (c.psi >= c.nui) ---------->

Overflow(OF):
[-----------------+---------------+-------------------+----------]
                                c.psi               c.nui
                                  -------------------->
                                            if (c.psi >= c.nui) ---> OF
[-----+-----------
    next c.nui

Overflow(OF) occurred if (c.psi >= next c.nui):
Overflow may occur as shown above. In this case, re-run kdamond_init_ctx()
to reinitialize the relevant variables.
