mm/damon/sysfs: fix param_ctx leak on damon_sysfs_new_test_ctx() failure

Browse source

Patch series "mm/damon/sysfs: fix memory leak and NULL dereference
issues", v4.

DAMON_SYSFS can leak memory under allocation failure, and do NULL pointer
dereference when a privileged user make wrong sequences of control.  Fix
those.


This patch (of 3):

When damon_sysfs_new_test_ctx() fails in damon_sysfs_commit_input(),
param_ctx is leaked because the early return skips the cleanup at the out
label.  Destroy param_ctx before returning.
