watch_queue: Actually free the watch
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
watch_queue: Actually free the watch
free_watch() does everything barring actually freeing the watch object. Fix
this by adding the missing kfree.
kmemleak produces a report something like the following. Note that as an
address can be seen in the first word, the watch would appear to have gone
through call_rcu().
