mm/damon/reclaim: skip damon_call() if ctx has not started

Patch series "mm/damon/{reclaim,lru_sort}: fix commit_inputs infinite
hang".

Writing 'Y' to commit_inputs parameters of DAMON_RECLAIM and
DAMON_LRU_SORT before the modules were ever turned on causes infinite
hang.  Fix those.

The issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.


This patch (of 2):

DAMON_RECLAIM calls damon_call() for commit_inputs parameter user input if
the DAMON context is initialized.  The context could be initialized, but
not yet successfully started.  In the case, damon_call() could
indefinitely hang.  Read the comment on damon_call() for more detail.  Fix
the problem by memorizing if the DAMON context has ever successfully
started, and skip damon_call() if it has not.

This issue can easily be reproduced by writing Y to commit_inputs on a
system that DAMON_RECLAIM was not turned on before.
