damon_sysfs_test_add_targets() creates its monitoring context with
damon_new_ctx(), which leaves ctx->ops zero-initialized.  Since
DAMON_OPS_VADDR is zero, damon_target_has_pid() returns true for the
context, and damon_sysfs_add_targets() therefore calls
damon_set_target_pid() for each target it adds.  That function grabs a
reference to the target's struct pid via find_get_pid().

The test then tears the context down with damon_destroy_ctx(), which
releases such a reference from ctx->ops.cleanup_target().  For the vaddr
operations set that callback is damon_va_cleanup_target(), and it is the
only place where the reference is put.  The test never selects an
operations set, though, so cleanup_target is NULL and both references --
one for each of the two damon_sysfs_add_targets() calls -- are leaked on
every run of the test.  Running the test with CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK
enabled reports the leaked struct pid objects as unreferenced.

Fix this by selecting the vaddr operations set for the context before
adding the targets, as the real usage path (kdamond_init_ctx()) does.
damon_select_ops() fails if the vaddr operations set is not registered,
in which case the test cannot exercise the pid handling and skips
itself.
