[PATCH] z3fold: fix memory leak in kmem cache

From: Vitaly Wool
Date: Tue Sep 17 2019 - 11:54:00 EST


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.
