Found while reviewing the DAMON source code that if an online commit 
removes all schemes while kdamond is waiting for watermark activation,
the scheme loop becomes empty but min_wait_time keeps the previous 
positive value.  kdamond then keeps sleeping instead of resuming 
monitoring without schemes.

Initialize min_wait_time and init_wait_time on each loop iteration so
the wait is calculated from the current schemes and an empty scheme
list resumes monitoring.

An x86-64 KVM test using free-memory watermarks reproduced the stall
with nr_schemes=0 followed by commit.  The same test resumed monitoring
with this fix.  DAMON KUnit and selftests all passed.
