Summary
mm/damon/core: fix potential memory leak by cleaning ops_filter in damon_destroy_scheme
Details

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

mm/damon/core: fix potential memory leak by cleaning opsfilter in damondestroy_scheme

Currently, damondestroyscheme() only cleans up the filter list but leaves ops_filter untouched, which could lead to memory leaks when a scheme is destroyed.

This patch ensures both filter and opsfilter are properly freed in damondestroy_scheme(), preventing potential memory leaks.
