Subject: md: free unused memory after bitmap resize

From: Zdenek Kabelac <zkabelac@redhat.com>


[ Upstream commit 0868b99c214a3d55486c700de7c3f770b7243e7c ]

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):
