[RFC PATCH v4 0/6] samples/damon: handle damon_{start,stop}() failures

[SeongJae Park <sj@kernel.org>]

All DAMON sample modules are not correctly handling failures from
damon_start().  Among those, mtier also has an additional problem for
handling of damon_stop() failures.  wsse and prcl also have a problem in
their damon_call() failure handling.  As a result, memory leaks, next
DAMON operation disruptions, and use-after-free can happen.  Fix those.

Note that only the damon_start() failure caused issues can reliably be
reproduced.  Reproducing those issues require the admin permission,
though.
