[ 077/117] memcg: free spare array to avoid memory leak

[Ben Hutchings]

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sha Zhengju <handai.szj@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 8c7577637ca31385e92769a77e2ab5b428e8b99c upstream.

When the last event is unregistered, there is no need to keep the spare
array anymore.  So free it to avoid memory leak.
