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().
