mm/damon/core: implement scheme-specific apply interval

DAMON-based operation schemes are applied for every aggregation interval. 
That was mainly because schemes were using nr_accesses, which be complete
to be used for every aggregation interval.  However, the schemes are now
using nr_accesses_bp, which is updated for each sampling interval in a way
that reasonable to be used.  Therefore, there is no reason to apply
schemes for each aggregation interval.

The unnecessary alignment with aggregation interval was also making some
use cases of DAMOS tricky.  Quotas setting under long aggregation interval
is one such example.  Suppose the aggregation interval is ten seconds, and
there is a scheme having CPU quota 100ms per 1s.  The scheme will actually
uses 100ms per ten seconds, since it cannobe be applied before next
aggregation interval.  The feature is working as intended, but the results
might not that intuitive for some users.  This could be fixed by updating
the quota to 1s per 10s.  But, in the case, the CPU usage of DAMOS could
look like spikes, and would actually make a bad effect to other
CPU-sensitive workloads.

Implement a dedicated timing interval for each DAMON-based operation
scheme, namely apply_interval.  The interval will be sampling interval
aligned, and each scheme will be applied for its apply_interval.  The
interval is set to 0 by default, and it means the scheme should use the
aggregation interval instead.  This avoids old users getting any
behavioral difference.
