Subject: mm/damon/sysfs: cleanup attrs subdirs on context dir setup failure
Date: Wed, 24 Dec 2025 18:30:35 -0800
When a context DAMON sysfs directory setup is failed after setup of attrs/
directory, subdirectories of attrs/ directory are not cleaned up. As a
result, DAMON sysfs interface is nearly broken until the system reboots,
and the memory for the unremoved directory is leaked.
Cleanup the directories under such failures.

Fixes: c951cd3b8901 ("mm/damon: implement a minimal stub for sysfs-based DAMON interface")
