mm/damon: add synchronous commit for commit_inputs

Browse source

Problem
=======
Writing invalid parameters to sysfs followed by 'commit_inputs=Y' fails
silently (no error returned to shell), because the validation happens
asynchronously in the kdamond.

Solution
========
To fix this, the commit_inputs_store() callback now uses damon_call() to
synchronously commit parameters in the kdamond thread's safe context.
This ensures that validation errors are returned immediately to
userspace, following the pattern used by DAMON_SYSFS.

Changes
=======
1. Added commit_inputs_store() and commit_inputs_fn() to commit
   synchronously.
2. Removed handle_commit_inputs().

This change is motivated from another discussion [1].
