Subject: [PATCH 2/9] mm/damon: rename CONFIG_DAMON_DBGFS to DAMON_DBGFS_DEPRECATED

DAMON debugfs interface is deprecated.  The fact has documented by
commit 5445fcbc4cda ("Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/usage: add DAMON debugfs
interface deprecation notice").  Commit 620932cd2852 ("mm/damon/dbgfs:
print DAMON debugfs interface deprecation message") further started
printing a warning message when users still use it.  Many people don't
read documentation or kernel log, though.

Make the deprecation harder to be ignored using the approach of commit
eb07c4f39c3e ("mm/slab: rename CONFIG_SLAB to CONFIG_SLAB_DEPRECATED").
'make oldconfig' with 'CONFIG_DAMON_DBGFS=y' will get a new prompt with
the explicit deprecation notice on the name.  'make olddefconfig' with
'CONFIG_DAMON_DBGFS=y' will result in not building DAMON debugfs
interface.  If there is a real user of DAMON debugfs interface, they
will complain the change to the builder.
