Subject: [PATCH 1/4] mm/damon/sysfs: cleanup intervals subdirs on attrs dir setup failure

When attrs/ DAMON sysfs directory setup is failed after setup of
intervals/ directory, intervals/intervals_goal/ directory is not cleaned
up.  As a result, DAMON sysfs interface is nearly broken until the
system reboots, and the memory for the unremoved directory is leaked.

Cleanup the directory under such failures.
