Zdenek Kabelac 89a459e0d5 md: free unused memory after bitmap resize 
[ Upstream commit 0868b99c21 ]

When bitmap is resized, the old kalloced chunks just are not released
once the resized bitmap starts to use new space.

This fixes in particular kmemleak reports like this one:

unreferenced object 0xffff8f4311e9c000 (size 4096):
  comm "lvm", pid 19333, jiffies 4295263268 (age 528.265s)
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):

README 

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
