The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/damon/core: trace esz at first setup
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-damon-core-trace-esz-at-first-setup.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

DAMON traces effective size quota from the second update, only if a change
has been made by the update.  Tracing only changed updates was an
intentional decision to avoid unnecessary same value tracing.  Always
skipping the first value is just an unintended mistake.

The mistake makes the tracepoint based investigation incomplete, because
the first effective size quota is never traced.  It is not a big issue
when the 'consist' quota tuner is used, because it keeps changing the
quota in the usual setup.

However, when the 'temporal' tuner is used, the quota value is not changed
before the goal achievement status is completely changed.  For example, if
the DAMOS scheme is started with an under-achieved goal, the quota is set
to the maximum value, and kept the same value until the goal is achieved. 
Because DAMON skips the first value, the user cannot know what effective
quota the current scheme is using.  Only after the goal is achieved, the
effective quota is changed to zero, and traced.

Unconditionally trace the initial quota value to fix this problem.

Note that the 'temporal' quota tuner was introduced by commit af738a6a00c1
("mm/damon/core: introduce DAMOS_QUOTA_GOAL_TUNER_TEMPORAL"), which was
added to 7.1-rc1.  But even with the 'consist' quota tuner, the tracing is
unintentionally incomplete.  Hence this commit marks the introduction of
the trace event as the broken commit.
