Kmemleak report a leak in graph_trace_open():

The root cause is descripted as follows:
__tracing_open() { // 1. File 'trace' is being opened; ... *iter->trace = *tr->current_trace; // 2. Tracer 'function_graph' is // currently set; ... iter->trace->open(iter); // 3. Call graph_trace_open() here, // and memory are allocated in it; ... }
s_start() { // 4. The opened file is being read; ... *iter->trace = *tr->current_trace; // 5. If tracer is switched to // 'nop' or others, then memory // in step 3 are leaked!!! ... }
To fix it, in s_start(), close tracer before switching then reopen the new tracer after switching. And some tracers like 'wakeup' may not update 'iter->private' in some cases when reopen, then it should be cleared to avoid being mistakenly closed again.
