It is kept in the memory by the design.  It will be destroyed when the user
enables DAMON_RECLAIM later.  So, unfortunately I don't think this patch is
needed.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, I'd recommend you to thoroughly read and follow the patch submission
guide [1], if you didn't have a chance to read it yet.
