mmio_pipe_open() allocates a header_iter and takes a pci_dev reference
when trace_pipe is opened. mmio_close() frees them, but it was only
wired to the tracer's .close callback.

tracing_release_pipe() invokes .pipe_close, not .close, when the
trace_pipe file is released. As a result, closing trace_pipe with the
mmiotrace tracer active leaked the header_iter allocation and left a
stale pci_dev reference.

Set .pipe_close to mmio_close, matching how function_graph wires both
callbacks to the same handler.
