watch_queue: Actually free the watch 

free_watch() does everything barring actually freeing the watch object.  Fix
this by adding the missing kfree.

kmemleak produces a report something like the following.  Note that as an
address can be seen in the first word, the watch would appear to have gone
through call_rcu().
