Yeah, I run that LD_PRELOAD thing in production since it's
cheap compared to valgrind.

Agreed on all points.  Overall, the amount of globals in git has
long seemed excessive and offputting to me (and likely other
drive-by hackers).

I've added kh_str_t *remote_islands and renamed
s/island_config_data/island_load_data/ in the below version
to reflect the slightly different scope of remote_islands.

icd => ild since config => load

data => ild

I don't like the name `data' for a typed variable.

Aside from that, v2 below still frees the regex memory early on
in the hopes deduplicate_islands() can reuse some of the freed
regexp memory.

Anyways, here's v2, which seems to work.  I'm still trying to
figure out SATA errors+resets after replacing a CMOS battery,
but I really hope this patch isn't the cause.

Subject: [PATCH] delta-islands: free island-related data after use

On my use case involving 771 islands of Linux on kernel.org,
this reduces memory usage by around 25MB.  The bulk of that
comes from free_remote_islands, since free_config_regexes only
saves around 40k.

This memory is saved early in the memory-intensive pack process,
making it available for the remainder of the long process.
