[PATCH v2] tracing: Fix memory leak in tracing_err_log_open()
From: Takeshi Misawa
Date: Fri Jun 28 2019 - 06:56:47 EST
If tracing_err_log_open() call seq_open(), allocated memory is not freed.
kmemleak report:
unreferenced object 0xffff92c0781d1100 (size 128):
comm "tail", pid 15116, jiffies 4295163855 (age 22.704s)
hex dump (first 32 bytes):

Fix this by calling seq_release() in tracing_err_log_fops.release().

Dear Steven Rostedt
Thanks for reviewing.

I send a v2 patch.
