damon_commit_ctx() first commits the running context's parameters to a
temporary context for validating proposed updates. Constructing the
temporary schemes clears the running schemes' quota state because
damon_new_scheme() initializes the quota passed as a parameter before
copying it to the new scheme. Even an update later rejected with -EINVAL
loses the running quota state.

Initialize the new scheme's copy instead, and add KUnit tests for the
constructor and for accepted and rejected context updates.

Note: below are test results and changelogs that could be removed from
the final commit log.

In the v1 live test with damo, a scheme with a plain 64 KiB size quota and
a 60-second reset interval uses its quota, and a full "damo tune" with
unchanged parameters then lets it try another 64 KiB within the same
window. With the fix, sz_tried stays at 64 KiB.

KUnit was rerun after the rebase on x86-64 and i386. With only patch 2
applied, the two new tests fail. With the fix, all 46 DAMON KUnit tests
pass on both architectures.

The v1 DAMON selftests showed no new failures (QEMU TCG guest; the
wss_estimation test missed its accuracy bounds with and without the fix).

- Collect R-b: from SJ for patch 1.
- Rebase to latest mm-new.
- Add a note for starting point of test results and changelogs.
- Fix typos in patch 1: s/detault/default/ s/occationally/occasionally/.

Changes from v1
- v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]/
- Collect SJ's Reviewed-by for patch 2.
- Explain the running-context validation in the opening paragraph.
- Clarify which quota is passed as a parameter and use "commit" for the
  context operation.
- Point Fixes to commit 60bd24f272d0 ("mm/damon/sysfs: test commit input
  against realistic destination"). Drop the redundant stable version
  comment.
- Rebase onto mm-new. No changes to the fix or test logic.
