mm/damon/sysfs: check error from damon_sysfs_update_target()

Patch series "mm/damon/sysfs: fix unhandled return values".

Some of DAMON sysfs interface code is not handling return values from some
functions.  As a result, confusing user input handling or NULL-dereference
is possible.  Check those properly.


This patch (of 3):

damon_sysfs_update_target() returns error code for failures, but its
caller, damon_sysfs_set_targets() is ignoring that.  The update function
seems making no critical change in case of such failures, but the behavior
will look like DAMON sysfs is silently ignoring or only partially
accepting the user input.  Fix it.
