NeilBrown d2ac7ec47f x86: fix seq_file iteration for pat/memtype.c 
commit 3d2fc4c082 upstream.

The memtype seq_file iterator allocates a buffer in the ->start and ->next
functions and frees it in the ->show function.  The preferred handling for
such resources is to free them in the subsequent ->next or ->stop function
call.

Since Commit 1f4aace60b ("fs/seq_file.c: simplify seq_file iteration
code and interface") there is no guarantee that ->show will be called
after ->next, so this function can now leak memory.

So move the freeing of the buffer to ->next and ->stop.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
