Subject: cgroup/kmemleak: add kmemleak_free() for cgroup deallocations.
From: Wang Nan <wangnan0@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 401507d67d5c2854f5a88b3f93f64fc6f267bca5 upstream.
Commit ff7ee93f4715 ("cgroup/kmemleak: Annotate alloc_page() for cgroup
allocations") introduces kmemleak_alloc() for alloc_page_cgroup(), but
corresponding kmemleak_free() is missing, which makes kmemleak be
wrongly disabled after memory offlining. Log is pasted at the end of
this commit message.
This patch add kmemleak_free() into free_page_cgroup(). During page
offlining, this patch removes corresponding entries in kmemleak rbtree.
After that, the freed memory can be allocated again by other subsystems
without killing kmemleak.
