On systems with page size larger than 4K, a fwp object has few 4K chunks.
Fix a bug in fwp free flow where the chunk address was dropped and
fwp->addr was used instead (first chunk address). This caused a wrong
update of fwp->bitmask which later can cause errors in re-alloc fwp
chunk flow.
In order to fix this it, re-factor the release flow:
- Free 4k: Releases a specific 4k chunk inside the fwp, defined by
starting address.
- Free fwp: Unconditionally release the whole fwp and its resources.
Free addr will call free fwp if all chunks were released, in order to do
code sharing.
In addition, fix npages to count for all released chunks correctly.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
