mm/damon/dbgfs: support multiple contexts
In some use cases, users would want to run multiple monitoring context. For example, if a user wants a high precision monitoring and dedicating multiple CPUs for the job is ok, because DAMON creates one monitoring thread per one context, the user can split the monitoring target regions into multiple small regions and create one context for each region. Or, someone might want to simultaneously monitor different address spaces, e.g., both virtual address space and physical address space. The DAMON's API allows such usage, but 'damon-dbgfs' does not. Therefore, only kernel space DAMON users can do multiple contexts monitoring. This commit allows the user space DAMON users to use multiple contexts monitoring by introducing two new 'damon-dbgfs' debugfs files, 'mk_context' and 'rm_context'. Users can create a new monitoring context by writing the desired name of the new context to 'mk_context'. Then, a new directory with the name and having the files for setting of the context ('attrs', 'target_ids' and 'record') will be created under the debugfs directory. Writing the name of the context to remove to 'rm_context' will remove the related context and directory.
