[PATCH] mm/damon/core: iterate the regions list from current point in damon_set_regions()

[PATCH] mm/damon/core: iterate the regions list from current point in damon_set_regions()

[xiakaixu1987]

From: Kaixu Xia <kaixuxia@tencent.com>

We iterate the whole regions list every time to get the first/last regions
intersecting with the specific range in damon_set_regions(), in order to
add new region or resize existing regions to fit in the specific range.
Actually, it is unnecessary to iterate the new added regions and the
front regions that have been checked. Just iterate the regions list from
the current point using list_for_each_entry_from() every time to improve
performance.
The kunit tests passed:
 [PASSED] damon_test_apply_three_regions1
 [PASSED] damon_test_apply_three_regions2
 [PASSED] damon_test_apply_three_regions3
 [PASSED] damon_test_apply_three_regions4
