proc: add proc_seq_release
kmemleak reported some memory leak on reading proc files. After adding some debug lines, find that proc_seq_fops is using seq_release as release handler, which won't handle the free of 'private' field of seq_file, while in fact the open handler proc_seq_open could create the private data with __seq_open_private when state_size is greater than zero. So after reading files created with proc_create_seq_private, such as /proc/timer_list and /proc/vmallocinfo, the private mem of a seq_file is not freed. Fix it by adding the paired proc_seq_release as the default release handler of proc_seq_ops instead of seq_release.
