Subject: selftests/damon: prevent remaining cross-object state pollution
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 07:26:08 -0700

_damon_sysfs.py defines constructors with mutable default arguments,
including DamosAccessPattern(), DamosQuota(), DamosWatermarks(),
DamosDests(), IntervalsGoal(), and empty lists.

Default arguments are evaluated once at function definition time.  Damos()
instances created without explicit arguments therefore share the same
DamosQuota(), and the other default-constructed sub-objects and lists are
shared in the same way.  The sub-objects keep back-pointers to their owner
scheme, so constructing the second Damos() rebinds the shared quota's
scheme pointer to the second object.  An item appended to one object's
default contexts or filters list is also visible from other
default-constructed objects.

The shared state can corrupt test configurations.  DamosQuota.sysfs_dir()
derives the sysfs directory from its scheme pointer, so operating on the
first scheme's default quota may write to the second scheme's directory. 
The wrong values often match the defaults, so tests still pass, but the
behavior depends on object creation order.

Commit 8319dadcbd81 ("selftests/damon: prevent cross-context state
pollution in DamonCtx") fixed the same pattern in DamonCtx only.  Fix the
remaining constructors by defaulting to None and creating fresh objects or
lists inside each constructor.  Explicit arguments keep their previous
behavior.
