PATCH v5 1/1 damon/sysfs: fix possible memleak on damon_sysfs_add_target

From: Levi Yun <[email protected]>

When damon_sysfs_add_target couldn't find proper task, newly allocated damon_target structure isn't registered yet. So, it's impossible to free the newly allocated one by damon_sysfs_destroy_targets.

By calling damon_add_target as soon as allocating new target, fix this possible memory leak.

Fixes a61ea561c871 ("mm/damon/sysfs: link DAMON for virtual address spaces monitoring")
Cc <[email protected]> # 5.17.x
