of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: samples/damon: fix damon sample mtier for start failure
Date: Wed, 2 Jul 2025 09:02:03 +0900
The damon_sample_mtier_start() can fail so we must reset the "enable"
parameter to "false" again for proper rollback.
In such cases, setting Y to "enable" then N triggers the similar crash
with mtier because damon sample start failed but the "enable" stays as Y.
