[Severity: Medium]
Should this new filter type also be exposed in the sysfs interface?

Looking at damon_sysfs_filter_type_names in mm/damon/sysfs.c, it maps sysfs
string inputs to DAMON probe filter types, but it doesn't seem to include
an entry for DAMON_FILTER_TYPE_PGIDLE_UNSET:

mm/damon/sysfs.c:damon_sysfs_filter_type_names[] = {
	{
		.type = DAMON_FILTER_TYPE_ANON,
		.name = "anon",
	},
	{
		.type = DAMON_FILTER_TYPE_MEMCG,
		.name = "memcg",
	},
};

Without this mapping, does this prevent userspace from accessing the newly
added feature, since any attempt to configure it through sysfs would be
rejected?
