From: Ran Xiaokai <ran.xiaokai@zte.com.cn>

commit a76a5ae2c6c645005672c2caf2d49361c6f2500f upstream.

The page_owner_stack_fops->open() callback invokes seq_open_private(),
therefore its corresponding ->release() callback must call
seq_release_private(). Otherwise it will cause a memory leak of struct
stack_print_ctx.
