Automatic esssential DAMON/DAMOS status update feature of DAMON sysfs
interface (refresh_ms) is broken [1] for multiple DAMON contexts
(kdamonds) use case, since it uses a global single damon_call_control
object for all created DAMON contexts. The fields of the object,
particularly the list field is over-written for the contexts and it
makes unexpected results including user-space hangup and kernel crashes
[2]. Fix it by extending damon_call_control for the use case and
updating the usage on DAMON sysfs interface to use per-context
dynamically allocated damon_call_control object.
