In DAMON's damon_sysfs_repeat_call_fn(), time_before() is used to compare
the current jiffies with next_update_jiffies to determine whether to
update the sysfs files at this moment.
On 32-bit systems, the kernel initializes jiffies to "-5 minutes" to make
jiffies wrap bugs appear earlier. However, this causes time_before() in
damon_sysfs_repeat_call_fn() to unexpectedly return true during the first
5 minutes after boot on 32-bit systems (see [1] for more explanation,
which fixes another jiffies-related issue before). As a result, DAMON
does not update sysfs files during that period.
There is also an issue unrelated to the system's word size[2]: if the
user stops DAMON just after next_update_jiffies is updated and restarts
it after 'refresh_ms' or a longer delay, next_update_jiffies will retain
an older value, causing time_before() to return false and the update to
happen earlier than expected.
Fix these issues by making next_update_jiffies a global variable and
initializing it each time DAMON is started.
