It's really gigantic in a specially designed case, which is quite
far from the most of regular use cases.  But it's a leak anyway.

No.  Revision 115489 (reverted by 115506) was an attempt to solve
two minor issues: 1) 'n_fonts' counter in FRAME_DISPLAY_INFO (f)
should be updated when the font is closed and 2) when font-entity
is gone, font_driver->free_entity should be called for it, if
non-NULL (for now macfont.m is the only driver where it is so).
