[RFC PATCH 1/4] mm/damon/core: handle NULL ctx parameter in damon_call()

[SJ Park <sj@kernel.org>]

When NULL damon_ctx pointer parameter is passed, damon_call() could do
NULL dereference.  The caller is responsible to avoid that.  It is easy
to forget, and there are many damon_call() callers.  Meanwhile,
damon_call() is never meant to be performance critical.  It uses mutex
and completion.  Add the NULL pointer check inside damon_call() so that
callers can pass the parameter without NULL checks.
