Subject: [PATCH 2/5] mm/damon/core: avoid divide-by-zero during monitoring results update

When monitoring attributes are changed, DAMON updates access rate of the
monitoring results accordingly.  For that, it 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: 2f5bef5a590b ("mm/damon/core: update monitoring results for new monitoring attributes")
