tracing: Fix memory leak of iter->temp when reading trace_pipe

commit d5a82189 upstream.

kmemleak reports:
  unreferenced object 0xffff88814d14e200 (size 256):
    comm "cat", pid 336, jiffies 4294871818 (age 779.490s)

when reading file 'trace_pipe', 'iter->temp' is allocated or relocated
in trace_find_next_entry() but not freed before 'trace_pipe' is closed.

To fix it, free 'iter->temp' in tracing_release_pipe().
