[PATCH 4/5] selftests/damon: add a test for update_schemes_tried_regions sysfs command

[SeongJae Park <sj@kernel.org>]

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.
