"The target id should already in target_ids file"[1].

For proper use of DAMON, I'd like to recommend you to refer to, or use the
official DAMON user space tool[2] instead of the debugfs interface. As the
document[3] says "DAMON user space tool. This is for privileged people such as
system administrators who want a just-working human-friendly interface".

Also, some of your patches including this break the user space tool. As it is
an important part of DAMON echosystem, it would be great if you could consider
taking care in keeping it unbroken, too.
