mm/damon/sysfs: read addr_unit only once in damon_sysfs_apply_inputs()

Browse Source 
damon_sysfs_apply_inputs() reads addr_unit twice.  It could race with
addr_unit_store().  As a result, the min_region_sz could wrongly be set
up.  Read it once.

The user impact is trivial.  Sane users ain't update the parameter in
parallel.  Even if it happens, the DAMON core layer handles the wrong
min_region_sz (!is_power_of_2()).  Even if somehow the race ended up
making a min_region_sz that is different from the user's intention but
still valid, only monitoring itself runs differently than expected.  No
critical consequences like kernel panic or memory corruption happen.

The issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.
