Subject: [PATCH v2 02/10] mm/damon/core: add damos_filter->allow field

DAMOS filters work as only exclusive (reject) filters.  This makes it
easy to be confused, and restrictive at combining multiple filters for
covering various types of memory.

Add a field named 'allow' to damos_filter.  The field will be used to
indicate whether the filter should work for inclusion or exclusion.  To
keep the old behavior, set it as 'false' (work as exclusive filter) by
default, from damos_new_filter().

Following two commits will make the core and operations set layers,
which handles damos_filter objects, respect the field, respectively.
