[issue6483] Modules are not deallocated correctly if m_size = -1

[Julian Andres Klode]

New submission from Julian Andres Klode <jak at jak-linux.org>:

The documentation states that m_size should be -1 if no additional
memory is needed. But this causes the objects inside the module to not
be deallocated at all.

The attached module (test) stores an object of a type 'Test', which
prints "Deallocation is happening" in it's tp_dealloc. If m_size in the
TestModule is set to -1, this is never reached. If it is 0, it is reached.
