mm/damon/core: handle uninitialized damos_quota_goal->last_psi_total
This commit initializes damos_quota_goal->last_psi_total to U64_MAX when
creating or committing a DAMOS_QUOTA_SOME_MEM_PSI_US goal, and sets
goal->current_value to goal->target_value on the first tuning round so the
effective quota remains unchanged until a baseline PSI reading is recorded.

[Severity: Medium]
Can setting goal->current_value = goal->target_value here overflow in
damos_quota_score() when goal->target_value exceeds ULONG_MAX / 10000?
Unlike mainline where damos_quota_score() uses mult_frac(), this branch
computes the score with direct unsigned long multiplication:
mm/damon/core.c:damos_quota_score() {
damos_for_each_quota_goal(goal, quota) {
damos_set_quota_goal_current_value(goal);
highest_score = max(highest_score,
goal->current_value * 10000 /
goal->target_value);
}
}
When goal->target_value > ULONG_MAX / 10000 (for example, above 429,496 us
on 32-bit architectures), goal->current_value * 10000 wraps around and
produces a score below 10000, causing damon_feed_loop_next_input() to
increase quota->esz_bp on the first round instead of keeping the current
quota unchanged.
