fuse: fix memory leak
 
kmemleak is reporting that 32 bytes are being leaked by FUSE:

  unreferenced object 0xe373b270 (size 32):
  comm "fusermount", pid 1207, jiffies 4294707026 (age 2675.187s)
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):

This leak report is consistent and happens once per boot on
3.1.0-rc5-dirty.

This happens if a FORGET request is queued after the fuse device was
released.
