Subject: [PATCH 4/4] mm/damon/vaddr: indicate the target is invalid when 'nr_regions' is zero

From: Kaixu Xia <kaixuxia@...cent.com>

When 'init()' and 'update()' DAMON operations failed and the number
of the damon_target regions is zero, the kdamond would do nothing
to this monitoring target in this case. It makes no sense to run
kdamond when all of monitoring targets have no regions. So add the
judgement in 'target_valid()' operation to indicate the target is
invalid when 'nr_regions' is zero.
