Nice finding!  Could you please share just a brief more detail about above cool
output, e.g., just the name of the tool you used, so that others can learn it
from your awesome commit message?

There is damon_destroy_region() function, which simply calls damon_del_region()
and damon_free_region().  Unless there is needs to access the region before
removing from the region, doing memory return together via the function is
recommended.

And this test code calls damon_del_region() just beofre above
KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ().  Hence, I think replacing the damon_del_region() call with
damon_destroy_region() rather than calling damon_free_region() may be simpler
and shorter.  Could you please do so?

This looks nice.  Thank you for fixing this!
