[PATCH 2/5] mm/damon/core: support addr_unit on damon_find_biggest_system_ram()

damon_find_biggest_system_ram() sets an 'unsigned long' variable with
'resource_size_t' value. This is fundamentally wrong. On environments
such as ARM 32 bit machines having LPAE (Large Physical Address
Extensions), which DAMON supports, the size of 'unsigned long' may be
smaller than that of 'resource_size_t'. It is safe, though, since we
restrict the walk to be done only up to ULONG_MAX.

DAMON supports the address size gap using 'addr_unit'. We didn't add
the support to the function, just to make the initial support change
small. Now the support is reasonably settled. This kind of gap is only
making the code inconsistent and easy to be confused. Add the support
of 'addr_unit' to the function, by letting callers pass the 'addr_unit'
and handling it in the function. All callers are passing 'addr_unit' 1,
though, to keep the old behavior.
