The split operation (damon_split_region_at()) could fail from allocation failure under extreme memory pressure. In the case, DAMOS action could be applied more or less than expected, ignoring the address filter. The issue only rarely happens under extreme memory pressure. No crash or leak happens. Occasionally not applying the action to a few regions shouldn't be a real problem. But applying the action to a region that the user has excluded via address filter could be a surprise depending on the use case. It is only theoretical. No such real case is found yet. Filter out the entire region if the split is failed. Update damos_filter_match() signature to receive the error from split. Also update kunit tests for the updated signature. The issue was discovered [1] by sashiko.
