tracing: fix a typo in tracing_cpumask_write()
It's tracing_cpumask_new that should be kfree()ed. This causes tracing_cpumask to be freed due to the typo: # echo z > tracing_cpumask bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument And subsequent reads/writes to tracing_cpuamsk will access this already-freed tracing_cpumask, thus may lead to crash. [ Impact: fix leak and crash when writing invalid val to tracing_cpumask ] Acked-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> LKML-Reference: <4A35B86A.7070608@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
