From: Vitaly Wool <vitalywool@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: z3fold: fix memory leak in kmem cache

Currently there is a leak in init_z3fold_page() -- it allocates handles
from kmem cache even for headless pages, but then they are never used and
never freed, so eventually kmem cache may get exhausted.  This patch
provides a fix for that.
