[PATCH mm-hotfixes-unstable 1/3] mm/damon/core: reset watermark wait state on each iteration

[SJ Park <sj@kernel.org>]

From: Aveline Noir <jm5905938@gmail.com>

Found while reviewing the DAMON source code that if an online commit
removes all schemes while kdamond is waiting for watermark activation,
the scheme loop becomes empty but min_wait_time keeps the previous
positive value.  kdamond then keeps sleeping instead of resuming
monitoring without schemes.

The way to wake up the kdamond again without DAMON is bit complicated.
Install a scheme having watermarks that can activate the kdamond again,
and remove the scheme again.  Doable but cumbersome and complicated.

Initialize min_wait_time and init_wait_time on each loop iteration so
the wait is calculated from the current schemes and an empty scheme
list resumes monitoring.
