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.
