Subject: [PATCH] seccomp: Release fp pointer when leaving from seccomp_attach_filter().

kmemleak reported some memory leak as below.

unreferenced object 0xffff8800d6ea4000 (size 512):
  comm "sshd", pid 278, jiffies 4294898315 (age 46.653s)
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):
    21 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 15 00 01 00 3e 00 00 c0  !...........>...
    06 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 21 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  ........!.......
  backtrace:
    [<ffffffff8151414e>] kmemleak_alloc+0x4e/0xb0
    [<ffffffff811a3a40>] __kmalloc+0x280/0x320
    [<ffffffff8110842e>] prctl_set_seccomp+0x11e/0x3b0

    [<ffffffff8152ef2d>] system_call_fastpath+0x1a/0x1f
    [<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff

This memory leak happend in seccomp_attach_filter().
The fp pointer was allocated via kzalloc so that it needs to realase memory
when leaving from function.

This patch changed two things.
One is set -ENOMEM to ret, if fp is unable to get memory.
The other is removes "return 0" statement, and frees fp pointer before
leaving.
