The root cause is descripted as follows:

  __tracing_open() {  // 1. File 'trace' is being opened;
    ...
    *iter->trace = *tr->current_trace;  // 2. Tracer 'function_graph' is
                                        //    currently set;
    ...
    iter->trace->open(iter);  // 3. Call graph_trace_open() here,
                              //    and memory are allocated in it;
    ...
  }

  s_start() {  // 4. The opened file is being read;
    ...
    *iter->trace = *tr->current_trace;  // 5. If tracer is switched to
                                        //    'nop' or others, then memory
                                        //    in step 3 are leaked!!!
    ...
  }

To fix it, in s_start(), close tracer before switching then reopen the
new tracer after switching. And some tracers like 'wakeup' may not update
'iter->private' in some cases when reopen, then it should be cleared
to avoid being mistakenly closed again.
