[PATCH] mm/damon/core: Optimize kdamod.%d thread creation code

[PATCH] mm/damon/core: Optimize kdamod.%d thread creation code

[Xin Hao]

When the ctx->adaptive_targets list is empty,
i did some test on monitor_on interface like this.

echo on > /sys/kernel/debug/damon/monitor_on
[  851.988307] damon: kdamond (5390) starts

Though the ctx->adaptive_targets list is empty, but the
kthread_run still be called, and the kdamond.x thread still
be created, this is meaningless, so t

So there adds a judgment. only if the ctx->adaptive_targets
list is not empty, and ctx->kdamond pointer is NULL, then call
the __damon_start function.
