Subject: [PATCH RESEND 6.5.y] mm/damon/sysfs: check DAMOS regions update progress from before_terminate()

DAMON_SYSFS can receive DAMOS tried regions update request while kdamond
is already out of the main loop and before_terminate callback
(damon_sysfs_before_terminate() in this case) is not yet called.  And
damon_sysfs_handle_cmd() can further be finished before the callback is
invoked.  Then, damon_sysfs_before_terminate() unlocks damon_sysfs_lock,
which is not locked by anyone.  This happens because the callback function
assumes damon_sysfs_cmd_request_callback() should be called before it.
Check if the assumption was true before doing the unlock, to avoid this
problem.

I sent this patch yesterday, but seems not archived in lore.kernel.org.
Sending again Cc-ing more mailing lists, to ensure it is sent and others can
find it, to avoid any duplicated works.
