Takeshi Misawa d122ed6288 tracing: Fix memory leak in tracing_err_log_open()
When tracing_err_log_open() calls seq_open(), allocated memory is not freed.

kmemleak report:

unreferenced object 0xffff92c0781d1100 (size 128):
  comm "tail", pid 15116, jiffies 4295163855 (age 22.704s)

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

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
