When damon_sysfs_new_test_ctx() fails in damon_sysfs_commit_input(),
param_ctx is leaked because the early return skips the cleanup at the
out label. Destroy param_ctx before returning.

Multiple sysfs command paths dereference contexts_arr[0] without first
verifying that nr_contexts >= 1. A user can set nr_contexts to 0 via
sysfs while DAMON is running, causing NULL pointer dereferences.
Guard all commands (except OFF) at the entry point of
damon_sysfs_handle_cmd().

damon_sysfs_repeat_call_fn() calls damon_sysfs_upd_tuned_intervals(),
damon_sysfs_upd_schemes_stats(), and
damon_sysfs_upd_schemes_effective_quotas() without checking
contexts->nr. If nr_contexts is set to 0 via sysfs while DAMON is
running, these functions dereference contexts_arr[0] and cause a NULL
pointer dereference. Add the missing check.
