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.
