Subject: kfence: fix memory leak when cat kfence objects

Hulk robot reported a kmemleak problem:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I find that we can easily reproduce this problem with the following
commands:
	`cat /sys/kernel/debug/kfence/objects`
	`echo scan > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak`
	`cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak`

The leaked memory is allocated in the stack below:
----------------------------------
do_syscall_64
  do_sys_open
    do_dentry_open
      full_proxy_open
        seq_open            ---> alloc seq_file
  vfs_read
    full_proxy_read
      seq_read
        seq_read_iter
          traverse          ---> alloc seq_buf
----------------------------------

And it should have been released in the following process:
----------------------------------
do_syscall_64
  syscall_exit_to_user_mode
    exit_to_user_mode_prepare
      task_work_run
        ____fput
          __fput
            full_proxy_release  ---> free here
----------------------------------

However, the release function corresponding to file_operations is not
implemented in kfence. As a result, a memory leak occurs. Therefore,
the solution to this problem is to implement the corresponding
release function.
