This implements a new kernel subsystem that finds cold memory regions
using DAMON and reclaims those immediately.  It is intended to be used
as proactive lightweigh reclamation logic for light memory pressure.
For heavy memory pressure, it could be inactivated and fall back to the
traditional page-scanning based reclamation.

It's implemented on top of DAMON framework to use the DAMON-based
Operation Schemes (DAMOS) feature.  It utilizes all the DAMOS features
including speed limit, prioritization, and watermarks.

It could be enabled and tuned in boot time via the kernel boot
parameter, and in run time via its module parameters
('/sys/module/damon_reclaim/parameters/') interface.
