ftrace: Fix memory leak in ftrace_graph_release()

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):
