mm/damon/core: introduce DAMON_FILTER_TYPE_PGIDLE_UNSET

This commit introduces a new DAMON filter type, pgidle_unset. It is intended
to match pages that have their PG_Idle flag unset or the page table accessed
bit set.

[Severity: Medium]
Are the corresponding implementation details for this new filter type missing
from this patch?

The commit message states this will match pages that have their PG_Idle flag
unset, but the new DAMON_FILTER_TYPE_PGIDLE_UNSET variant doesn't appear to
be handled in the switch block evaluating filter types within
damon_pa_filter_match() in mm/damon/paddr.c.

Additionally, should this be exposed to userspace? The new filter type is
not mapped in damon_sysfs_filter_type_names in mm/damon/sysfs.c, which would
prevent it from being configured via sysfs.
