mm/damon/core: use mult_frac()

Patch series "mm/damon: improve/fixup/update ratio calculation, test and
documentation".

Yet another batch of misc/minor improvements and fixups.  Use mult_frac()
instead of the worse open-coding for rate calculations (patch 1).  Add a
test for a previously found and fixed bug (patch 2).  Improve and update
comments and documentations for easier code review and up-to-date
information (patches 3-6).  Finally, fix an obvious typo (patch 7).


This patch (of 7):

There are multiple places in core code that do open-code rate
calculations.  Use mult_frac(), which is developed for doing that in a way
more safe from overflow and precision loss.
