The objcg is not cleared and put for kfence object when it is freed,
which could lead to memory leak for struct obj_cgroup and wrong
statistics of NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE_B or NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE_B.
Since the last freed object's objcg is not cleared,
mem_cgroup_from_obj() could return the wrong memcg when this kfence
object, which is not charged to any objcgs, is reallocated to other
users.
A real word issue [1] is caused by this bug.
