This series contains various bug fixes for slub. We fix memoryleak, use-afer-free, NULL pointer dereferencing and so on in slub. More details can be found in the respective changelogs. This patch (of 5): It's possible that __seq_open_private() will return NULL. So we should check it before using lest dereferencing NULL pointer. And in error paths, we forgot to release private buffer via seq_release_private(). Memory will leak in these paths.
