damon_test_new_filter() 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.

Patch series "mm/damon: extend DAMOS filters for inclusion", v2.
DAMOS fitlers are exclusive filters. It only excludes memory of given criterias from the DAMOS action targets. This has below limitations.
First, the name is not explicitly explaining the behavior. This actually resulted in users' confusions[1]. Secondly, combined uses of multiple filters provide only restriced coverages. For example, building a DAMOS scheme that applies the action to memory that belongs to cgroup A "or" cgroup B is impossible. A workaround would be using two schemes that fitlers out memory that not belong to cgroup A and cgroup B, respectively. It is cumbersome, and difficult to control quota-like per-scheme features in an orchestration. Monitoring of filters-passed memory statistic will also be complicated.
Extend DAMOS filters to support not only exclusion (rejecting), but also inclusion (allowing) behavior. For this, add a new damos_filter struct field called 'allow' for DAMON kernel API users. The filter works as an inclusion or exclusion filter when it is set or unset, respectively. For DAMON user-space ABI users, add a DAMON sysfs file of same name under DAMOS filter sysfs directory. To prevent exposing a behavioral change to old users, set rejecting as the default behavior.
Note that allow-filters work for only inclusion, not exclusion of memory that not satisfying the criteria. And the default behavior of DAMOS for memory that no filter has involved is that the action can be applied to those memory. Also, filters-passed memory statistics are for any memory that passed through the DAMOS filters check stage. These implies installing allow-filters at the endof the filter list is useless. Refer to the design doc change of this series for more details.

This patch (of 10):
The comment is slightly wrong. DAMOS filters are not only for pages, but general bytes of memory. Also the description of 'matching' is bit confusing, since DAMOS filters do only filtering out. Update the comments to be less confusing.

DAMOS filters work as only exclusive (reject) filters. This makes it easy to be confused, and restrictive at combining multiple filters for covering various types of memory.
Add a field named 'allow' to damos_filter. The field will be used to indicate whether the filter should work for inclusion or exclusion. To keep the old behavior, set it as 'false' (work as exclusive filter) by default, from damos_new_filter().
Following two commits will make the core and operations set layers, which handles damos_filter objects, respect the field, respectively.

DAMON API users should set damos_filter->allow manually to use a DAMOS allow-filter, since damos_new_filter() unsets the field always. It is cumbersome and easy to mistake. Add an arugment for setting the field to damos_new_filter().
