Subject: [PATCH] mm/damon/core: initialize damos->walk_completed in damon_new_scheme()

The function for allocating and initialize a 'struct damos' object,
damon_new_scheme(), is not initializing damos->walk_completed field.
Only damos_walk_complete() is setting the field.  Hence the field will
be eventually set and used correctly from second damos_walk() call for
the scheme.  But the first damos_walk() could mistakenly not walk on the
regions.  Actually, a common usage of DAMOS for taking an access pattern
snapshot is installing a monitoring-purpose DAMOS scheme, doing
damos_walk() to retrieve the snapshot, and then removing the scheme.
DAMON user-space tool (damo) also gets runtime snapshot in the way.
Hence the problem can continuously happen in such use cases.  Initialize
it properly in the allocation function.
