Subject: [PATCH] memzone: fix leak on allocation error

[ upstream commit db22d31a79733f08e974f134c883361fd8641984 ]

We check if there's space in config after we allocated the memzone,
but if there isn't, we never free it back. This patch adds memzone
free if there's no room in memzone config.

Fixes: ff909fe21f0a ("mem: introduce memzone freeing")
