[PATCH] mm/damon/stat: set last_refresh_jiffies to jiffies at startup

[Quanmin Yan <yanquanmin1@huawei.com>]

In DAMON_STAT's damon_stat_damon_call_fn(), time_before_eq() is used to
avoid unnecessarily frequent stat update.

On 32-bit systems, the kernel initializes jiffies to "-5 minutes" to make
jiffies wrap bugs appear earlier. However, this causes time_before_eq()
in DAMON_STAT to unexpectedly return true during the first 5 minutes
after boot on 32-bit systems (see [1] for more explanation, which fixes
another jiffies-related issue in DAMON). As a result, DAMON_STAT does not
update any monitoring results during that period, which can be more
confusing when DAMON_STAT_ENABLED_DEFAULT is enabled.

Fix it by setting last_refresh_jiffies to jiffies at startup.
