When kfence fails to initialize kfence pool, it frees the pool. But it does not reset memcg_data and PG_slab flag. Below is a BUG because of this. Let's fix it by resetting memcg_data and PG_slab flag before free.

Thanks Muchun. Now it looks much better and still works. - Remove Reviewed-by: tags as the code changed.
