mm/damon/core: filter out damos address filter-split failed region

When an address type DAMOS filter is configured, DAMOS tries to split the
region for the filter range, and apply DAMOS action to the filter-in
region.  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.
