x86, pat: Fix memory leak in free_memtype
Reserve_memtype will allocate memory for new memtype, but
in free_memtype, after the memtype erased from rbtree, the
memory is not freed.

Changes since V1:
	make rbt_memtype_erase return erased memtype so that
	it can be freed in free_memtype.

[ hpa: not for -stable: 2.6.34 and earlier not affected ]
