Subject: [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 easy and intuitive, compared to the manual
[de]prioritization target access pattern thresholds tuning.  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.
