Subject: [PATCH] mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: skip stats update if the scheme directory is removed

A DAMON sysfs interface user can start DAMON with a scheme, remove the
sysfs directory for the scheme, and then ask update of the scheme's
stats.  Because the schemes stats update logic doesn't aware of the
situation, it results in an invalid memory access.  Fix the bug by
checking if the scheme sysfs directory exists.

Fixes: 0ac32b8affb5 ("mm/damon/sysfs: support DAMOS stats")
Cc: <stable@...r.kernel.org> # v5.18

Note: There are DAMON code refactoring patches in mm-stable.  As the
refactoring changes the code that this fix is touching, while this fix
is for v6.1 hotfix, this patch is based on the latest mainline, not the
mm-unstable.  In other words, this patch cannot cleanly applied on
mm-unstable.  You could get this patch based on latest mm-unstable via
damon/next tree[1], though.
