Subject: mm/damon/core: disallow probe_hits overflow on attrs only monitoring
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 06:46:38 -0700

When any damon_probe->weight is set, DAMON will do only probe monitoring. 
probe_hits is 'unsigned char'.  It could overflow when the aggregation
interval is larger than the sampling interval times 256. 
damon_as_probe_weights() always return false, so such overflow cannot
happen.  Even if it happens, it only degrades the monitoring results.

That said, the overflow is not intentional.  It is better to be prevented
as long as the cost is not expensive.  Disallow the overflow by adding a
validation logic on the core layer parameters validation function.
