Subject: [RFC v9 07/10] damon/dbgfs: Support physical memory monitoring

From: SeongJae Park <sjpark@...zon.de>

This commit makes the 'damon-dbgfs' to support the physical memory
monitoring, in addition to the virtual memory monitoring.

Users can do the physical memory monitoring by writing a special
keyword, 'paddr\n' to the 'pids' debugfs file.  Then, DAMON will check
the special keyword and configure the monitoring context to run using
the primitives for physical memory.  This will internally add one fake
monitoring target process, which has target id 42.

Unlike the virtual memory monitoring, the monitoring target region will
not be automatically set.  Therefore, users should also set the
monitoring target address region using the 'init_regions' debugfs file.

Finally, the physical memory monitoring will not automatically
terminated.  The user should explicitly turn off the monitoring by
writing 'off' to the 'monitor_on' debugfs file.
