From: Miklos Szeredi

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxx>

kmemleak is reporting that 32 bytes are being leaked by FUSE:

unreferenced object 0xe373b270 (size 32):
comm "fusermount", pid 1207, jiffies 4294707026 (age 2675.187s)
hex dump (first 32 bytes):
01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................

[<b01b7966>] sys_mount+0x66/0xa0

This leak report is consistent and happens once per boot on
3.1.0-rc5-dirty.

This happens if a FORGET request is queued after the fuse device was
released.
