Subject: [RFC PATCH 08/11] mm/damon/lru_sort: support active:inactive memory ratio based auto-tuning

Doing DAMOS_LRU_[DE]PRIO with DAMOS_QUOTA_[IN]ACTIVE_MEM_BP based quota
auto-tuning can be useful.  For example, users can ask DAMON to "find
hot/cold pages and activate/deactivate those aiming 50:50
active:inactive memory size."  But DAMON_LRU_SORT has no interface to do
that.  Add a module parameter for setting the target ratio.
