[ Upstream commit 63a088e999de3f431f87d9a367933da894ddb613 ]
The kcore loading creates a set of list nodes that have reference counted references to maps of the kcore. The list node freeing in the success path wasn't releasing the maps, add the missing puts. It is unclear why this leak was being missed by leak sanitizer.
