Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] mm/damon/vaddr: remove comparison between mm and last_mm when checking region accesses

From: Kaixu Xia <kaixuxia@...cent.com>

The damon regions that belong to the same damon target have the same
'struct mm_struct *mm', so it's unnecessary to compare the mm and last_mm
objects among the damon regions in one damon target when checking accesses.
But the check is necessary when the target changed in
'__damon_va_check_accesses()', so we can simplify the whole operation by
using the bool 'same_target' to indicate whether the target changed.
