mm/page_alloc.c: fix freeing non-compound pages
Here is a very rare race which leaks memory:
Page P0 is allocated to the page cache. Page P1 is free.
Thread A Thread B Thread C
find_get_entry():
xas_load() returns P0
Removes P0 from page cache
P0 finds its buddy P1
alloc_pages(GFP_KERNEL, 1) returns P0
P0 has refcount 1
page_cache_get_speculative(P0)
P0 has refcount 2
__free_pages(P0)
P0 has refcount 1
put_page(P0)
P1 is not freed
Fix this by freeing all the pages in __free_pages() that won't be freed
by the call to put_page(). It's usually not a good idea to split a page,
but this is a very unlikely scenario.

Loading this module is safe if your kernel has the bug fixed.

If the bug is not fixed, it will leak gigabytes of memory and

probably OOM your system.
