Subject: [PATCH] mm/damon: simplify stop mechanism

An kernel thread can exit gracefully with kthread_stop(). So we don't need
a new flag 'kdamond_stop'. And to make sure the task struct is not freed
when accessing it, get task struct on start and put it on stop.

And since the return value of 'before_terminate' callback is never used,
we make it have no return value.
