DAMOS filters' default reject behavior is not very simple. Actually there
was a mistake[1] during the development. Add a kunit test for validating
the behavior.

Currently all DAMON kernel API callers do online DAMON parameters commit
from damon_callback->after_aggregation because only those are safe place
to call the DAMON monitoring attributes update function, namely
damon_set_attrs().
Because damon_callback hooks provide no synchronization, the callers work
in asynchronous ways or implement their own inefficient and complicated
synchronization mechanisms. It also means online DAMON parameters commit
can take up to one aggregation interval. On large systems having long
aggregation intervals, that can be too slow. The synchronization can be
done in more efficient and simple way while removing the latency
constraint if it can be done using damon_call().
The fact that damon_call() can be executed in the middle of the
aggregation makes damon_set_attrs() unsafe to be called from it, though.
Two real problems can occur in the case. First, converting the not yet
completely aggregated nr_accesses for new user-set intervals can arguably
degrade the accuracy or at least make the logic complicated. Second,
kdamond_reset_aggregated() will not be called after the monitoring results
update, so next aggregation starts from unclean state. This can result in
inconsistent and unexpected nr_accesses_bp.
Make it safe as follows. Catch the middle-of-the-aggregation case from
damon_set_attrs() by checking the passed_sample_intervals and
next_aggregationsis of the context. And pass the information to
nr_accesses conversion logic. The logic works as before if it is not the
case (called after the current aggregation is completed). If it is the
case (committing parameters in the middle of the aggregation), it drops
the nr_accesses information that so far aggregated, and make the status
same to the beginning of this aggregation, but as if the last aggregation
was started with the updated sampling/aggregation intervals.
The middle-of-aggregastion check introduce yet another edge case, though.
This happens because kdamond_tune_intervals() can also call
damon_set_attrs() with the middle-of-aggregation check. Consider
damon_call() for parameters commit and kdamond_tune_intervals() are called
in same iteration of kdamond main loop. Because kdamond_tune_interval()
is called for aggregation intervals, it should be the end of the
aggregation. The first damon_set_attrs() call from kdamond_call()
understands it is the end of the aggregation and correctly handle it.
But, because the damon_set_attrs() updated next_aggregation_sis of the
context. Hence, the second damon_set_attrs() invocation from
kdamond_tune_interval() believes it is called in the middle of the
aggregation. It therefore resets aggregated information so far. After
that, kdamond_reset_interval() is called and double-reset the aggregated
information. Avoid this case, too, by setting the next_aggregation_sis
before kdamond_tune_intervals() is invoked.

DAMON API users should set damos_filter->allow manually to use a DAMOS
allow-filter, since damos_new_filter() unsets the field always. It is
cumbersome and easy to mistake. Add an arugment for setting the field to
damos_new_filter().

DAMOS filters supports allowing behavior, but the core layer's DAMOS
filters handling logic still assumes only rejecting (filtering-out)
behavior. Update the logic to aware of and respect the behavioral
decision by reading damos_filter->allow when making the decision to
exclude a region or not.

The aggregation interval of test purpose damon_attrs for
damon_test_nr_accesses_to_accesses_bp() becomes zero on 32 bit
architecture, since size of int and long types are same. As a result,
damon_nr_accesses_to_accesses_bp() call with the test data triggers
divide-by-zero exception. damon_nr_accesses_to_accesses_bp() shouldn't
be called with such data, and the non-test code avoids that by checking
the case on damon_update_monitoring_results(). Skip the test code in
the case, and add an explicit caution of the case on the comment for the
test target function.
