Subject: mm/damon/core: introduce damon_operations->prep_probes()
Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2026 06:24:54 -0700

damon_prep needs to be executed by the underlying DAMON operation set. Extend the operation set callback list for the execution of damon_prep actions. If the underlying operation set implements the callback, DAMON core executes it in the monitoring preparation time.
