A user could write a name of a file under 'damon/' debugfs directory, which is not a user-created context, to 'rm_contexts' file. In the case, 'dbgfs_rm_context()' just assumes it's the valid DAMON context directory only if a file of the name exist. As a result, invalid memory access could happen as below. Fix the bug by checking if the given input is for a directory. This check can filter out non-context inputs because directories under 'damon/' debugfs directory can be created via only 'mk_contexts' file.
