SubjectLeaks in trace reported by kmemleak
From
I've noticed your latest patch for memory leak in filter setting
(8ad807318fcd...) - but even with this patch - kmemleak seems to still
report lots (~900) of following leaks - note - they come only from
i915 and kvm module - so I'm not sure if these two modules are doing
something wrong or the problem is in trace code.

It looks like whole directory is somehow forgotten.
