mm/damon/core: fix fake load reports due to uninterruptible sleeps

commit 70e9274805fccfd175d0431a947bfd11ee7df40e upstream.

Because DAMON sleeps in uninterruptible mode, /proc/loadavg reports fake
load while DAMON is turned on, though it is doing nothing.  This can
confuse users[1].  To avoid the case, this commit makes DAMON sleeps in
idle mode.
