[S390] Fix memory leak in /proc/cio_ignore 

There is a memory leak in /proc/cio_ignore. The iterator is allocated
in cio_ignore_proc_seq_start, but never freed in
cio_ignore_proc_seq_stop, because we cannot use the iterator
that was passed by seqfile. The seqfile interface passes the last
seen iterator to the stop function and not the first one. Since our
next function will return NULL at the end, the iter passed to
cio_ignore_proc_seq_stop is NULL. The original iter has leaked.
The solution is to use seq_open_private.

Found with kmemleak:
unreferenced object 0x1c720580 (size 32):
  comm "head", pid 973, jiffies 4294958302
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):
