Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) e320d3012d 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.
