The following gross mistake was noticed promptly by Rik van Riel:

spin_lock(&page_table_share_lock);
- if (page_count(virt_to_page(pte)) == 1) {
+ if (put_page_testzero(virt_to_page(pte))) {
pmd_clear(dir);
pte_free_slow(pte);
}
spin_unlock(&page_table_share_lock);

However, oddly enough, that's not the memory leak.
