[PATCH] selftests/damon: fix damon selftests by installing _common.sh

[Alexandre Ghiti]

_common.sh was recently introduced but is not installed and then
triggers an error when trying to run the damon selftests:

selftests: damon: sysfs.sh
./sysfs.sh: line 4: _common.sh: No such file or directory

Install this file to avoid this error.

I tried to reproduce those error with my vm environment but I failed;
with my workaround test method, it doesn't exist.
If you're okay, could you please tell me line by line how you execute
tests in what environment?
I'm also struggling with the test environment, as well.

Does this commit exist in `mm-new` or `damon-next`?  I failed to setup
the same base-commit environment.

I succeeded to reproduce and also check that this patch removes those errors.

However, I'm still not sure that this patch is in the correct
baseline. maybe it will not cause any problems with the merge
though... but I'm not sure. So I didn't add a reviewed-by tag.

I think unclear baseline of a patch shouldn't be a blocker of Reviewed-by tags.
Since most DAMON patches are recommended to use mm-new[1], as long as the patch
can cleanly applied on latest mm-new and you don't see anything wrong, I think
you can assume it is based on mm-new.

Excellent catch!  This patch unlocks a testing method that was
completely off my radar. :)

Thanks to Sang-Heon for helping reproduce this issue.  I reproduce this
issue locally as well and I can confirm that this patch will fix it
successfully.

Here's my reproduction procedure:

  # cd /root/linux/
  # make -C tools/testing/selftests/ install INSTALL_PATH=/root/test-dir/
  # cd /root/test-dir/
  # ./run_kselftest.sh -c damon

and I got the following error,

  TAP version 13
  1..13
  # timeout set to 45
  # selftests: damon: sysfs.sh
  # ./sysfs.sh: line 4: _common.sh: No such file or directory
  # ./sysfs.sh: line 369: check_dependencies: command not found     
  ok 1 selftests: damon: sysfs.sh

with Alexandre's patch applied, I got this,

  TAP version 13  
  1..13
  # timeout set to 45
  # selftests: damon: sysfs.sh
  ok 1 selftests: damon: sysfs.sh

The root cause was my misunderstanding of the TEST_FILES macro.  I've now
refined the testing methodology - thanks all for the guidance.
