[PATCH] mm/damon/reclaim: fix potential memory leak in damon_reclaim_init()

From: Jianglei Nie
Date: Thu Jul 14 2022 - 02:38:34 EST


damon_reclaim_init() allocates a memory chunk for ctx with
damon_new_ctx(). When damon_select_ops() fails, ctx is not released, which
will lead to a memory leak.

We should release the ctx with damon_destroy_ctx() when damon_select_ops()
fails to fix the memory leak.
