Some 'damon-dbgfs' users would want to monitor only a part of the entire
virtual memory address space.  The framework users in the kernel space
could use '->init_target_regions' callback or even set the regions
inside the context struct as they want, but 'damon-dbgfs' users cannot.

For the reason, this commit introduces a new debugfs file,
'init_region'.  'damon-dbgfs' users can specify which initial monitoring
target address regions they want by writing special input to the file.
The input should describe each region in each line in below form:

    <pid> <start address> <end address>

Note that the regions will be updated to cover entire memory mapped
regions after 'regions update interval'.  If you want the regions to not
be updated after the initial setting, you could set the interval as a
very long time, say, a few decades.

Coverity Static Analysis Security Testing (SAST) by Synopsys, Inc. found that
above return is missing deallocation of 'kbuf'.  I will fix this in the next
version.
