This clears up the hash entries, but continues to leak the hash table.
Since you submitted first, can you fix this to use hashmap_free_()
instead, as per
https://lore.kernel.org/git/932741d7598ca2934dbca40f715ba2d3819fcc51.1597561152.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com/?
 Then I'll rebase my series on yours and drop my first patch (since
it'll then be identical).

Thanks,
Elijah
