Implement minor improvements on code readability and tests for DAMON.

First seven patches are for DAMON code readability and resulting
maintenance.  Patches 1 and 2 make damon_set_regions() safer and easier
to read.  Patches 3 and 4 remove fragmented DAMON API use cases. Patches
5-7 hides unused core functions that are unnecessarily exposed to API
callers.

The following seven patches are for DAMON tests improvement.  Patches 8
and 9 adds and removes DAMON_DEBUG_SANITY verifications to ensure
reasonable test coverage without too high overhead.  Patch 10 adds a new
kunit test for damon_set_regions().  Patch 11 makes sysfs.py selftest
more gracefully finishes under test failures.  Patches 12-13 adds simple
sysfs.sh test cases for the monitoring intervals goal directory, the
addr_unit file and the pause file.

Sashiko failed reviewing this completely, but found no blockers.  Also it
didn't find a blocker from the previous version of this series, which is same
to this version except the baseline commit.

OK, thanks for checking - I'll add this series to mm.git's mm-new
branch.
