commit 84055688b6bc075c92a88e2d6c3ad26ab93919f9 upstream.
DAMOS tried regions sysfs directory allocation function (damon_sysfs_scheme_regions_alloc()) is not handling the memory allocation failure. In the case, the code will dereference NULL pointer. Handle the failure to avoid such invalid access.
