damos_new_filter() is not initializing the list field of newly allocated
filter object.  However, DAMON sysfs interface and DAMON_RECLAIM are not
initializing it after calling damos_new_filter().  As a result, accessing
uninitialized memory is possible.  Actually, adding multiple DAMOS filters
via DAMON sysfs interface caused NULL pointer dereferencing.  Initialize
the field just after the allocation from damos_new_filter().
