mm/damon/tests/core-kunit: catch test failure in test_merge_regions_of()

KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ() does not abort the execution of test code when the
expectation is not met.  But damon_test_merge_regions_of() code after its
initial KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ() call assumes the expectation is met.  It does a
per-region test with a hard-coded number of regions that is correct only
if the expectation was met.  As a result, __nth_region_of() could return
NULL, and the test code can dereference NULL pointers.  Fix the issue by
catching the expectation failure and skip the per-region tests.

The user impact on realistic setups should be negligible, as it is a unit
test.

The issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.
