Subject: [PATCH] mm/damon/ops-common: use nr_accesses moving sum for quota
 score

Since commit 42f994b71404 ("mm/damon/core: implement scheme-specific apply
interval"), DAMOS scheme can be applied at any time.  At that time,
nr_accesses may not be fully aggregated.  But the quota prioritization
score is calculated using the not fully aggregated count.  As a result,
the performance of DAMOS could be degraded.  Fix by using
damon_nr_accesses_mvsum() instead.

The user impact of the issue is suboptimum DAMOS performance under certain
setups.  Nonetheless, the bug was there from the beginning of the setup
availability.  In other words, the suboptimum performance is the baseline
of the setup and hence it didn't cause regression.  Also the extent of the
suboptimality was not big enough to be found from users and testers.
Still, this is a clear bug that is better to be fixed, and can be easily
fixed.
