A memory leak exists in the handling of repeat mode damon_call_control objects by kdamond_call(). While damon_call() correctly allows multiple repeat mode objects (with ->repeat set to true) to be added to the per-context list, kdamond_call() incorrectly processes them.
The function moves all repeat mode objects from the context's list to a temporary list (repeat_controls). However, it only moves the first object back to the context's list for future calls, leaving the remaining objects on the temporary list where they are abandoned and leaked.
This patch fixes the leak by ensuring all repeat mode objects are properly re-added to the context's list.
