There are several cases where we invalidate untracked cache directory entries where we do not free the underlying data, but reset the number of entries. This causes us to leak memory because `free_untracked()` will not iterate over any potential entries which we still had in the array. Fix this issue by freeing old entries. The leak is exposed by t7519, but plugging it alone does not make the whole test suite pass.
