Subject: md: free unused memory after bitmap resize
From: Zdenek Kabelac <zkabelac@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 0868b99c214a3d55486c700de7c3f770b7243e7c ]
When bitmap is resized, the old kalloced chunks just are not released
once the resized bitmap starts to use new space.
This fixes in particular kmemleak reports like this one:
unreferenced object 0xffff8f4311e9c000 (size 4096):
comm "lvm", pid 19333, jiffies 4295263268 (age 528.265s)
hex dump (first 32 bytes):
