mm/damon/core: introduce damon_report_exist()
This commit adds damon_report_exist() to search damon_report_queue for a
report matching a given type, address range, and minimum age in jiffies.

[Severity: High]
Can indexing queue->reports[idx] before decrementing and wrapping idx read
uninitialized or out-of-bounds memory?
In damon_submit_report(), queue->tail is post-incremented after writing
queue->reports[tail]:
mm/damon/core.c:damon_submit_report() {
...
tail = queue->tail;
if (tail == queue->size)
tail = 0;
queue->reports[tail] = *report;
queue->tail++;
...
}
Because queue->tail points one slot past the newest report, the first
iteration of damon_report_exist() reads the unwritten slot at
queue->reports[queue->tail] (which is allocated with kmalloc_objs() in
damon_init() without zeroing) and never visits queue->reports[0]. Once
queue->size (1000) reports have been submitted, queue->tail reaches 1000
and the first iteration reads queue->reports[1000], one element past the
end of the array. Also, when damon_submit_report() wraps local tail to 0,
queue->tail itself is not wrapped and increments past queue->size on
subsequent submissions.
Should idx be decremented (wrapping from 0 to queue->size - 1) before
indexing queue->reports[idx], with damon_submit_report() updating
queue->tail = tail + 1?
