[RFC PATCH 7/9] mm/damon/core: handle extreme memory state in damon_get_node_mem_bp()

Message-ID <[email protected]>
In an extreme and unlikely situation, si_meminfo_node() might let the
caller show zero total ram.  That could cause a divide by zero in
damon_get_node_mem_bp().  Fix it by setting the totalram one byte in the
case.

The issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.
