[PATCH 1/5] mm/damon/core: use kvmalloc for target regions array

[SJ Park]

From: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@xxxxxxxxx>

damon_commit_target_regions() temporarily allocates a single contiguous
memory region using kmalloc to store copies of all damon_regions of the
damon_target.
However, if the damon_target has a large number of damon_regions, the
total size may exceed KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE.

This problem can be avoided by using kvmalloc instead of kmalloc.
