[PATCH 1/2] mm/damon/reclaim: handle ctx allocation failure

[SeongJae Park]

DAMON_RECLAIM allocates the damon_ctx object for its kdamond in its init
function.  damon_reclaim_enabled_store() wrongly assumes the allocation
will always succeed once tried.  If the damon_ctx allocation was failed,
therefore, code execution reaches to damon_commit_ctx() while 'ctx' is
NULL.  As a result, it dereferences the NULL 'ctx' pointer.  Avoid the
NULL dereference by returning -ENOMEM if 'ctx' is NULL.

Fixes: 3f7a914ab9a5 ("mm/damon/reclaim: use damon_initialized()")
