Subject: [PATCH 3/3] mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: handle tried region directory allocation failure

DAMON sysfs interface's before_damos_apply callback
(damon_sysfs_before_damos_apply()), which creates the DAMOS tried
regions for each DAMOS action applied region, is not handling the
allocation failure for the sysfs directory data.  As a result, NULL
pointer derefeence is possible.  Fix it by handling the case.

Fixes: f1d13cacabe1 ("mm/damon/sysfs: implement DAMOS tried regions update command")
Cc: <stable@...r.kernel.org> # 6.2.x
