Subject[PATCH] single_open/seq_release leak diagnostics
"[PATCH] Fix leaks on /proc/{*/sched,sched_debug,timer_list,timer_stats}" and
"[PATCH] Fix leak on /proc/lockdep_stats" fixed 5 leaks which happen if one
uses single_open() as .open function and seq_release() as .release function.

Let's add small amount of runtime checking.

Sample output is:

memory leak: 'timer_list'
WARNING: at fs/seq_file.c:289 seq_release()
[<c015e311>] seq_release+0x53/0x68
[<c0171bd8>] proc_reg_release+0x63/0x74
