mm/damon: improve damon_new_region strategy
Kdamond is implemented as a periodical split-merge pattern, which will create and destroy regions possibly at high frequency (hundreds or even thousands of per sec), depending on the number of regions and aggregation period. In that case, kmalloc and kfree could bring speed and space overheads, which can be improved by using a private kmem cache.
