[PATCH] mm/damon/Kconfig: enforce DAMON_STAT when DAMON_STAT_ENABLED_DEFAULT is selected

[Enze Li]

The DAMON_STAT_ENABLED_DEFAULT option is strongly tied to
DAMON_STAT -- enabling it alone is meaningless.  This patch modifies the
logic to automatically enable DAMON_STAT whenever
DAMON_STAT_ENABLED_DEFAULT is selected, ensuring functional consistency.

I don't think we need to drop 'default DAMON_STAT', though.

To me, it seems the problem is the wrong dependency.  What about making
DAMON_STAT_ENABLED_DEFAULT depends on DAMON_STAT, like below?

"""

        default DAMON_STAT
        help

Also, the subject sounds like a bit strong tone ("enforce").  How about

"mm/damon/Kconfig: make DAMON_STAT_ENABLED_DEFAULT depends on DAMON_STAT" ?
