Subject: [PATCH] watch_queue: free the notes array

__put_watch_queue() frees the individual notifications but doesn't free
the notes array itself causing a memory leak.

Reported by syzbot at:
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=25ea042ae28f3888727a

Fix by adding a kfree().

Fixes: c73be61cede5 ("pipe: Add general notification queue support")
