Subject: [PATCH 02/22] mm/damon/tests/core-kunit: handle allocation failures in damon_test_regions()

damon_test_regions() is assuming all dynamic memory allocation in it
will succeed.  Those are indeed likely in the real use cases since those
allocations are too small to fail, but theoretically those could fail.
In the case, inappropriate memory access can happen.  Fix it by
appropriately cleanup pre-allocated memory and skip the execution of the
remaining tests in the failure cases.
