From: Levi Yun <ppbuk5246@gmail.com>

When damon_sysfs_add_target couldn't find proper task,
New allocated damon_target structure isn't registered yet,
So, it's impossible to free new allocated one by
damon_sysfs_destroy_targets.

By calling daemon_add_target as soon as allocating new target, Fix this
possible memory leak.
