Summary
mm/damon/vaddr-test: fix memory leak in damon_do_test_apply_three_regions()
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mm/damon/vaddr-test: fix memory leak in damondotestapplythree_regions()

When CONFIGDAMONVADDRKUNITTEST=y and making CONFIGDEBUGKMEMLEAK=y and CONFIGDEBUGKMEMLEAKAUTOSCAN=y, the below memory leak is detected.

Since commit 9f86d624292c ("mm/damon/vaddr-test: remove unnecessary variables"), the damondestroyctx() is removed, but still call damonnewtarget() and damonnewregion(), the damonregion which is allocated by kmemcachealloc() in damonnewregion() and the damontarget which is allocated by kmalloc in damonnewtarget() are not freed. And the damonregion which is allocated in damonnewregion() in damonset_regions() is also not freed.

So use damondestroytarget to free all the damonregions and damontarget.
