Subject: ftrace: Fix memory leak in ftrace_graph_release()
From: Luis Henriques <lhenriques@suse.com>
commit f9797c2f20c0160edd718aa467101f3301e57e59 upstream.
ftrace_hash is being kfree'ed in ftrace_graph_release(), however the
->buckets field is not. This results in a memory leak that is easily
captured by kmemleak:
unreferenced object 0xffff880038afe000 (size 8192):
comm "trace-cmd", pid 238, jiffies 4294916898 (age 9.736s)
hex dump (first 32 bytes):
