Yes it does, could you have accidentally mixed up sp_free (which does not
remove the tree entry) and sp_delete (which does)? The altered code ends
up looking like this;

static void sp_delete(struct shared_policy *sp, struct sp_node *n)
{
        pr_debug("deleting %lx-l%lx\n", n->start, n->end);
        rb_erase(&n->nd, &sp->root);                            <----- frees 
node here
        sp_free(n);
}

void mpol_free_shared_policy(struct shared_policy *p)
{
        struct sp_node *n;
        struct rb_node *next;

        if (!p->root.rb_node)
                return;
        mutex_lock(&p->mutex);
        next = rb_first(&p->root);
        while (next) {
                n = rb_entry(next, struct sp_node, nd);
                next = rb_next(&n->nd);
                sp_delete(p, n);                                <---- 
equivalent to rb_erase(&n->nd, &p->root); sp_free(n);
        }
        mutex_unlock(&p->mutex);
}

Thanks Christoph for looking at this.
