Subject: [PATCH 2/8] mm/damon/vaddr: call damon_update_region_access_rate() always

When getting mm_struct of the monitoring target process fails, there wil
be no need to increase the access rate counter (nr_accesses) of the
regions for the process.  Hence, damon_va_check_accesses() skips calling
damon_update_region_access_rate() in the case.  This breaks the
assumption that damon_update_region_access_rate() is called for every
region, for every sampling interval.  Call the function for every region
even in the case.  This might increase the overhead in some cases, but
such case would not be frequent, so no significant impact is really
expected.
