It's tracing_cpumask_new that should be kfree()ed.

This causes tracing_cpumask to be freed due to the typo:

 # echo z > tracing_cpumask
 bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

And subsequent reads/writes to tracing_cpuamsk will access this
already-freed tracing_cpumask, thus may lead to crash.

[ Impact: fix leak and crash when writing invalid val to tracing_cpumask ]
