[PATCH v4 04/11] mm/damon: Apply dynamic memory mapping changes

[sjpark]

From: SeongJae Park <sjpark@xxxxxxxxx>

Only a number of parts in the virtual address space of the processes is
mapped to physical memory and accessed.  Thus, tracking the unmapped
address regions is just wasteful.  However, tracking every memory
mapping change might incur an overhead.  For the reason, DAMON applies
the dynamic memory mapping changes to the tracking regions only for each
of a user-specified time interval (``regions update interval``).
