relay_open() will close allocated buffers when failed.
but if cpu offlined, some buffer will not be closed.
this patch fixed it.

and did cleanup for relay_reset() too.

Here is a fix for how relay handles cpu hotplug in the allocation error path. If
a cpu goes down while allocating, it may result in a buffer never being freed.

Lai Jiangshan originally identified this problem in the LTTng fork of
relay (ltt-relay-alloc). Here is the fix which applies to the original
kernel/relay.c.
