mm/damon/schemes: implement size quota for schemes application speed control

There could be arbitrarily large memory regions fulfilling the target
data access pattern of a DAMON-based operation scheme.  In the case,
applying the action of the scheme could incur too high overhead.  To
provide an intuitive way for avoiding it, this implements a feature
called size quota.  If the quota is set, DAMON tries to apply the action
only up to the given amount of memory regions within a given time
window.
