[RFC PATCH 3/5] mm/damon/core: floor effective quota size at minimum region size

[Ravi Jonnalagadda <ravis.opensrc@gmail.com>]

The CONSIST quota goal tuner initializes esz_bp to 0, producing an
effective quota size (esz) of 1 byte on the first tick.
damos_quota_is_full() rejects all regions when esz < min_region_sz
(default PAGE_SIZE = 4096), so no regions can be tried and no
feedback reaches the tuner — a bootstrapping deadlock.

Floor esz at ctx->min_region_sz after the tuner computes it, guarded
by an esz != 0 check.  The guard preserves the temporal tuner's
intentional stop behavior: when score >= 10000 (goal met), temporal
sets esz_bp = 0 to halt migration; the floor must not override that.
