kmemleak: Do not return a pointer to an object that kmemleak did not get
The kmemleak_seq_next() function tries to get an object (and increment its use count) before returning it. If it could not get the last object during list traversal (because it may have been freed), the function should return NULL rather than a pointer to such object that it did not get.
