[RFC PATCH v1.2 1/2] mm/damon/core: handle zero intervals in damon_max_nr_accesses()

[SeongJae Park]

damon_max_nr_accesses() causes a divide-by-zero if the sampling interval
is set to zero by the user.  If the aggregation interval is set to zero,
the function returns zero.  It is wrong, since the real maximum
nr_acceses in the setup should be one.  Worse yet, it can cause another
divide-by-zero from its caller, damon_hot_score(), since it uses
damon_max_nr_accesses() return value as a denominator.

Fix the problem by setting the denominator in the function as 1 when the
sampling interval is zero.  Also ensure the return value is always 1 or
greater.

The issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.
