From: Levi Yun <ppbuk5246@xxxxxxxxx> When damon_sysfs_add_target couldn't find proper task, newly allocated damon_target structure isn't registered yet. So, it's impossible to free the newly allocated one by damon_sysfs_destroy_targets. By calling damon_add_target as soon as allocating new target, fix this possible memory leak.
