Subject: [PATCH 02/14] mm/damon/core: finish kdamond as soon as any callback returns an error

From: SeongJae Park <sj@...nel.org>

When 'after_sampling()' or 'after_aggregation()' DAMON callbacks return
an error, kdamond continues the remaining loop once.  It makes no much
sense to run the remaining part while something wrong already happened.
The context might be corrupted or having invalid data.  This commit
therefore makes kdamond skips the remaining works and immediately finish
in the cases.
