The 'memory_idle_ms_percentiles' array in DAMON_STAT is updated frequently
by the kernel to reflect the latest idle time statistics. Marking it as
'__read_mostly' is inappropriate for data that is regularly written to, as
it can lead to cache pollution in the read-mostly section.
Remove the '__read_mostly' annotation to accurately reflect the
variable's usage pattern.
