damon_ctx->addr_unit is respected only for physical address space
monitoring use case. Meanwhile, damon_ctx->min_sz_region is used by the
core layer for aligning regions, regardless of whether it is set for
physical address space monitoring or virtual address spaces monitoring.
And it is set as 'DAMON_MIN_REGION / damon_ctx->addr_unit'. Hence, if
user sets ->addr_unit on virtual address spaces monitoring mode, regions
can be unexpectedly aligned in <PAGE_SIZE granularity. It shouldn't cause
crash-like issues but make monitoring and DAMOS behavior difficult to
understand.
Fix the unexpected behavior by setting ->min_sz_region only when it is
configured for physical address space monitoring.
The issue was found from a result of Chris' experiments that thankfully
shared with me off-list.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
