mm/damon/reclaim: use min_sz_region for core address alignment when setting regions

When setting regions in DAMON_RECLAIM, DAMON_MIN_REGION will be applied as
the core address alignment, and the monitoring target address ranges would
be aligned on DAMON_MIN_REGION * addr_unit. When users 1) set addr_unit
to a value larger than 1, and 2) set the monitoring target address range
as not aligned on DAMON_MIN_REGION * addr_unit, it will cause
DAMON_RECLAIM to operate on unexpectedly large physical address ranges.

For example, if the user sets the monitoring target address range to [4,
8) and addr_unit as 1024, the aimed monitoring target address range is [4
KiB, 8 KiB). Assuming DAMON_MIN_REGION is 4096, so resulting target
address range will be [0, 4096) in the DAMON core layer address system,
and [0, 4 MiB) in the physical address space, which is an unexpected
range.

To fix the issue, use min_sz_region for core address alignment when
setting regions.
