x86: fix seq_file iteration for pat/memtype.c
commit 3d2fc4c082448e9c05792f9b2a11c1d5db408b85 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 1f4aace60b0e ("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.
