[RFC v2 6/9] mm/damon: Make access check primitive configurable

[SeongJae Park]

From: SeongJae Park <sjpark@xxxxxxxxx>

DAMON assumes the target region is in virtual address space and
therefore uses PTE Accessed bit checking for access checking.  However,
as some CPU provides H/W based memory access check features that usually
more accurate and light-weight than PTE Accessed bit checking, some
users would want to use those in special use cases.  Also, some users
might want to use DAMON for different address spaces such as physical
memory space, which needs different ways to check the access.

This commit therefore allows DAMON users to configure the low level
access check primitives as they want.
