Subject: v4.4-rc3 ext4 memory leak

Hello,

Running xfstests on top of an ext4 filesystem causes kmemleak to report 
the following memory leak multiple times:

unreferenced object 0xffff880408709730 (size 96):
   comm "fsstress", pid 35588, jiffies 4295006079 (age 11865.680s)
   hex dump (first 32 bytes):
