Subject: [PATCH 2/5] mm/damon/sysfs: use damon_kdamond_pid()

DAMON sysfs interface directly uses damon_ctx->kdamond field with manual
synchronization using damon_ctx->kdamond_lock, to get the pid of the
kdamond.  Use a new dedicated function for the purpose, namely
damon_kdamond_pid(), since that doesn't require manual and error-prone
synchronization.

Avoid use of kdamond_lock outside of the core.
