Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mm/damon/sysfs: remove requested targets when online-commit inputs

damon_sysfs_set_targets(), which updates the targets of the context for
online commitment, do not remove targets that removed from the
corresponding sysfs files.  As a result, more than intended targets of
the context can exist and hence consume memory and monitoring CPU
resource more than expected.

Fix it by removing all targets of the context and fill up again using
the user input.  This could cause unnecessary memory dealloc and realloc
operations, but this is not a hot code path.  Also, note that
damon_target is stateless, and hence no data is lost.

Fixes: da87878010e5 ("mm/damon/sysfs: support online inputs update")
