Subject: mm/damon/core: wait ctx stop in damon_call() before reruning an error
Date: Mon, 6 Jul 2026 07:06:24 -0700

damon_call() failure means the DAMON context started its termination. The termination is asynchronously done in kdamond thread. The caller's error handling should handle the race, too. It is complicated and easy to make mistakes.

Update damon_call() to ensure the context is stopped in the case, by waiting until the completion is confirmed.
