[RFC] mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type UNMAPPED

Commit Message

Some DAMOS actions may better to be applied to only mapped, or unmapped
pages.  For example, users might want to use NUMA hint fault based
CXL-memory promotion for mapped pages, and DAMOS-based promotion for
unmapped pages.  For another example, users might want to proactively
reclaim only unmapped page cache, since some people do mmap() for only
performance-important files, to reduce read()/write() system call
overheads.  To support such use cases, introduce a new DAMOS filter type
for unmapped pages.

It is unclear if the example usages are realistic, and how much benefit
this idea will provide for the example usages.  This is for showing only
more specific shape of the idea, and hence RFC.  No test other than
build on my machine has run.
