[PATCH v4] damon/sysfs: Fix possible memleak on damon_sysfs_add_target.

From: SeongJae Park
Date: Mon Sep 26 2022 - 13:04:17 EST


From: Levi Yun <ppbuk5246@xxxxxxxxx>

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

By calling daemon_add_target as soon as allocating new target, Fix this
possible memory leak.
