mm/damon/core: merge regions after applying DAMOS schemes

damos_apply_scheme() could split the given region if applying the scheme's
action to the entire region can result in violating the quota-set upper
limit.  Keeping regions that are created by such split operations is
unnecessary overhead.

The overhead would be negligible in the common case because such split
operations could happen only up to the number of installed schemes per
scheme apply interval.  The following commit could make the impact larger,
though.  The following commit will allow the action-failed region to be
charged in a different ratio.  If both the ratio and the remaining quota
is quite small while the region to apply the scheme is quite large and the
action is nearly always failing, a high number of split operations could
happen.

Remove the unnecessary overhead by merging regions after applying schemes
is done for each region.  The merge operation is made only if it will not
lose monitoring information and keep min_nr_regions constraint.  In the
worst case, the max_nr_regions could still be violated until the next
per-aggregation interval merge operation is made.
