Message-ID <[email protected]>
When DAMOS_QUOTA_SOME_MEM_PSI_US metric damos quota goal is set, the PSI
delta for the feedback loop is calculated using
damos_quota_goal->last_psi_total.  It is not initialized at the
beginning.  So the first iteration of the feedback loop uses the
uninitialized value and makes an unexpected starting point quota.
Initialize the value at the beginning of kdamond.

The user impact would be trivial because the issue impacts only the
initial iteration of the feedback loop.  The feedback loop also has an
internal cap of the quota adjustment.  The wrong adjustment will soon be
corrected over a few iterations.

The issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.
