mm/damon/core: make damon_start() waits until kdamond_fn() starts
commit 6376a824595607e99d032a39ba3394988b4fce96 upstream.
The cleanup tasks of kdamond threads including reset of corresponding
DAMON context's ->kdamond field and decrease of global nr_running_ctxs
counter is supposed to be executed by kdamond_fn(). However, commit
0f91d13366a4 ("mm/damon: simplify stop mechanism") made neither
damon_start() nor damon_stop() ensure the corresponding kdamond has
started the execution of kdamond_fn().
As a result, the cleanup can be skipped if damon_stop() is called fast
enough after the previous damon_start(). Especially the skipped reset
of ->kdamond could cause a use-after-free.
Fix it by waiting for start of kdamond_fn() execution from
damon_start().
