mm/damon/Kconfig: enable CONFIG_DAMON by default

As of this writing, multiple major distros including Alma, Amazon,
Android, CentOS, Debian, Fedora, and Oracle are build-enabling DAMON (set
CONFIG_DAMON[1]). Enabling it by default will save configuration setup
time for the current and future DAMON users.

Build-enabling DAMON does not introduce a real risk since it makes no
behavioral change by default. It requires explicit user requests to do
anything. Only one potential risk is making the size of the kernel a
little bit larger. On a production-purpose configuration, it increases
the resulting kernel package size by about 0.1 % of the final package
file. I believe that's too small to be a real problem in common setups.

Hence, the benefit of enabling CONFIG_DAMON outweighs the potential risk.
Set CONFIG_DAMON by default.
