Subject: tracing: Fix kmemleak in instance_rmdir
From: Chunyu Hu <chuhu@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit db9108e054700c96322b0f0028546aa4e643cf0b upstream.
Hit the kmemleak when executing instance_rmdir, it forgot releasing
mem of tracing_cpumask. With this fix, the warn does not appear any
more.
unreferenced object 0xffff93a8dfaa7c18 (size 8):
comm "mkdir", pid 1436, jiffies 4294763622 (age 9134.308s)
