Subject: [PATCH] mm/kfence: reset PG_slab and memcg_data before freeing
__kfence_pool

When kfence fails to initialize kfence pool, it frees the pool. But it does not reset memcg_data and PG_slab flag.

Below is a BUG because of this. Let's fix it by resetting memcg_data and PG_slab flag before free.
