[1/2] mm/damon/dbgfs: check if rm_contexts input is for a real context

Commit Message

A user could write a name of a file under 'damon/' debugfs directory,
which is not a user-created context, to 'rm_contexts' file.  In the
case, 'dbgfs_rm_context()' just assumes it's the valid DAMON context
directory only if a file of the name exist.  As a result, invalid memory
access could happen as below.  Fix the bug by checking if the given
input is for a directory.  This check can filter out non-context inputs
because directories under 'damon/' debugfs directory can be created via
only 'mk_contexts' file.

This bug has found by syzbot[1].
