[PATCH v4] mm/damon/core: allow esz to be set to zero

[SJ Park]

From: Liew Rui Yan <aethernet65535@xxxxxxxxx>

When the temporal quota goal tuner determines that the goal has been
achieved (score >= 10000), it sets esz_bp to zero so that the esz
becomes zero.  However, damos_set_effective_quota() clamps the esz to
min_region_sz when quota->ms is set.

This is a minor issue, the main problem is that it doesn't match the
description in the documentation, which state that if the goal has
already been [over-]achieved, the quota will be set to zero.

Fix this by set quota (esz) as minimum as possible.

Fixes: 8bbde987c2b8 ("mm/damon/core: disallow time-quota setting zero esz")

- Changed implementation.  The initial solution skipped the
  min_region_sz clamping when esz was already zero.  However, this would
  revert the fix from commit 8bbde987c2b8 and cause a regression.  This
  revision fixes the issue by adding a specific check for a zero esz_bp.
- Changed patch title, original title: fix quota could not be set to
  zero
