-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I find that we can easily reproduce this problem with the following
commands:
         `cat /sys/kernel/debug/kfence/objects`
         `echo scan > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak`
         `cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak`

The leaked memory is allocated in the stack below:
----------------------------------
do_syscall_64
   do_sys_open
     do_dentry_open
       full_proxy_open
         seq_open            ---> alloc seq_file
   vfs_read
     full_proxy_read
       seq_read
         seq_read_iter
           traverse          ---> alloc seq_buf
----------------------------------

And it should have been released in the following process:
----------------------------------
do_syscall_64
   syscall_exit_to_user_mode
     exit_to_user_mode_prepare
       task_work_run
         ____fput
           __fput
             full_proxy_release  ---> free here
----------------------------------

However, the release function corresponding to file_operations is not
implemented in kfence. As a result, a memory leak occurs. Therefore,
the solution to this problem is to implement the corresponding
release function.
