When a reader's file descriptor is closed while in the middle of reading
a cache_request (rp->offset != 0), cache_release() decrements the
request's readers count but never checks whether it should free the
request.

In cache_read(), when readers drops to 0 and CACHE_PENDING is clear, the
cache_request is removed from the queue and freed along with its buffer
and cache_head reference. cache_release() lacks this cleanup.

The only other path that frees requests with readers == 0 is
cache_dequeue(), but it runs only when CACHE_PENDING transitions from
set to clear. If that transition already happened while readers was
still non-zero, cache_dequeue() will have skipped the request, and no
subsequent call will clean it up.

Add the same cleanup logic from cache_read() to cache_release(): after
decrementing readers, check if it reached 0 with CACHE_PENDING clear,
and if so, dequeue and free the cache_request.
