selftests/damon/access_memory: use user-defined region size

Patch series "selftests/damon: test DAMOS tried regions and
{min,max}_nr_regions".

This patch series fix a minor issue in a program for DAMON selftest, and
implement new functionality selftests for DAMOS tried regions and
{min,max}_nr_regions. The test for max_nr_regions also test the recovery
from online tuning-caused limit violation, which was fixed by a previous
patch [1] titled "mm/damon/core: merge regions aggressively when
max_nr_regions is unmet".

The first patch fixes a minor problem in the articial memory access
pattern generator for tests. Following 3 patches (2-4) implement schemes
tried regions test. Then a couple of patches (5-6) implementing static
setup based {min,max}_nr_regions functionality test follows. Final two
patches (7-8) implement dynamic max_nr_regions update test.

This patch (of 8):

'access_memory' is an artificial memory access pattern generator for DAMON
tests. It creates and accesses memory regions that the user specified the
number and size via the command line. However, real access part of the
program ignores the user-specified size of each region. Instead, it uses
a hard-coded value, 10 MiB. Fix it to use user-defined size.

Note that all existing 'access_memory' users are setting the region size
as 10 MiB. Hence no real problem has happened so far.

selftests/damon: add a test for update_schemes_tried_regions sysfs command

Add a selftest for verifying the accuracy of DAMON's access monitoring
functionality. The test starts a program of artificial access pattern,
monitor the access pattern using DAMON, and check if DAMON finds expected
amount of hot data region (working set size) with only acceptable error
rate.

Note that the acceptable error rate is set with only naive assumptions and
small number of tests. Hence failures of the test may not always mean
DAMON is broken. Rather than that, those could be a signal to better
understand the real accuracy level of DAMON in wider environments. Based
on further finding, we could optimize DAMON or adjust the expectation of
the test.
