mm/slub: fix memory leak in free_to_pcs_bulk()
The commit 989b09b ("slab: skip percpu sheaves for remote object freeing") introduced the remote_objects array in free_to_pcs_bulk() to skip sheaves when objects from a remote node are freed. However, the array is flushed only when: 1) the array becomes full (++remote_nr >= PCS_BATCH_MAX), or 2) slab_free_hook() returns false and size becomes zero. When neither of the conditions is met, objects in the array are leaked. This resulted in a memory leak [1], where 82 GiB of memory was allocated for the maple_node cache. Flush the array after successfully freeing objects to sheaves in the do_free: path. In the meantime, move the snippet if (!size) goto flush_remote; outside the while loop for readability. Let's say all objects in the array are from a remote node: then we acquire s->cpu_sheaves->lock and try to free an object even when size is zero. This doesn't appear to be harmful, but isn't really readable.
