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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
