Problem
=======
When a user sets an invalid 'addr_unit' (e.g., 3) via DAMON_RECLAIM,
'min_region_sz' becomes a non-power-of-2 value. While damon_commit_ctx()
correctly detects this and returns -EINVAL, it sets the
'maybe_corrupted' flag during this process.
This flag causes the running kdamond to terminate. While the termination
is a safety measure, it is suboptimal in this case because the error is
just a simple invalid input from the user, which shouldn't neccessitate
stopping the kdamond.
Reproduction
============
1. Enable DAMON_RECLAIM
2. Set addr_unit=3
3. Commit inputs via 'commit_inputs'
4. Observe kdamond termination
Solution
========
Add an early validation in damon_reclaim_apply_parameters() to check
'min_region_sz' before any state change occurs. If it is non-power-of-2,
return -EINVAL immediately, preventing 'maybe_corrupted' from being set.
