Segment preallocation code allocates an array of structures on the
heap but does not free the memory afterwards. Fix it by freeing it
at the end of the function, and changing control flow to always go
through that code path.

Fixes: 1dd342d0fdc4 ("mem: improve segment list preallocation")

    Not sure if stable release script picks up fixes for commits intended
    for stable releases?
