Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] mm/damon/core-test: Fix memory leak in damon_new_region()

When CONFIG_DAMON_KUNIT_TEST=y and making CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK=y
and CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_AUTO_SCAN=y, the below memory leak is detected.

The damon_region which is allocated by kmem_cache_alloc() in
damon_new_region() in damon_test_regions() and
damon_test_update_monitoring_result() are not freed. So use
damon_free_region() to free it. After applying this patch, the following
memory leak is never detected.
