[PATCH][next] scripts/sorttable: Fix resource leak on file pointer fp

[Colin Ian King]

There is a resource leak on fp on an error return path in function
parse_symbols that causes a resource leak. Fix this by adding in
the missing fclose.

Fixes: ef378c3b8233 ("scripts/sorttable: Zero out weak functions in mcount_loc table")

This patch has already been sent, and it's not really a leak, as when this
returns -1, it causes the program to exit and that will close all file descriptors.

I said I'll take the other patch as a clean up though.

This is in scripts/ so it doesn't really matter.  We're going to exit
and release everything immediately either way.

Ack. Won't fix these issues in scripts in future.
