Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Fix kmemleak in instance_rmdir

Hit the kmemleak when executing instance_rmdir, it forgot releasing
mem of tracing_cpumask. With this fix, the warn does not appear any
more.

unreferenced object 0xffff93a8dfaa7c18 (size 8):
  comm "mkdir", pid 1436, jiffies 4294763622 (age 9134.308s)
  hex dump (first 8 bytes):
