Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] mm/damon/core: add a tracepoint for damos apply target regions

DAMON provides damon_aggregated tracepoint, which exposes details of
each region and its access monitoring results.  It is useful for
getting whole monitoring results, e.g., for recording purposes.

For investigations of DAMOS, DAMON Sysfs interface provides DAMOS
statistics and tried_regions directory.  But, those provides only
statistics and snapshots.  If the scheme is frequently applied and if
the user needs to know every detail of DAMOS behavior, the
snapshot-based interface could be insufficient and expensive.

As a last resort, userspace users need to record the all monitoring
results via damon_aggregated tracepoint and simulate how DAMOS would
worked.  It is unnecessarily complicated.  DAMON kernel API users,
meanwhile, can do that easily via before_damos_apply() callback field of
'struct damon_callback', though.

Add a tracepoint that will be called just after before_damos_apply()
callback for more convenient investigations of DAMOS.  The tracepoint
exposes all details about each regions, similar to damon_aggregated
tracepoint.

Please note that DAMOS is currently not only for memory management but
also for query-like efficient monitoring results retrievals (when 'stat'
action is used).  Until now, only statistics or snapshots were
supported.  Addition of this tracepoint allows efficient full recording
of DAMOS-based filtered monitoring results.
