Subject: [PATCH mm-unstable 0/2] mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: avoid updating

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

This patchset is fixing commits in mm-unstable.  Andrew, please meld the
first patch into "mm/damon/sysfs: implement DAMOS tried regions update
command"[1], and the second patch into "mm/damon/sysfs-schemes:
implement DAMOS-tried regions clear command"[2].
