Subject: mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: handle tried regions sysfs directory allocation failure
Date: Mon, 6 Nov 2023 23:34:07 +0000

DAMOS tried regions sysfs directory allocation function
(damon_sysfs_scheme_regions_alloc()) is not handling the memory allocation
failure.  In the case, the code will dereference NULL pointer.  Handle the
failure to avoid such invalid access.
