Subject: [PATCH 3/5] mm/damon/ops-common: avoid divide-by-zero during region hotness calculation

When calculating the hotness of each region for the under-quota regions
prioritization, DAMON divides some values by the maximum nr_accesses.
However, due to the type of the related variables, simple division-based
calculation of the divisor can return zero.  As a result, divide-by-zero
is possible.  Fix it by using damon_max_nr_accesses(), which handles the
case.

Fixes: 198f0f4c58b9 ("mm/damon/vaddr,paddr: support pageout prioritization")
