[PATCH v2 12/27] split-index: fix memory leak in `move_cache_to_base_index()`

In `move_cache_to_base_index()` we move the index cache of the main index into the split index, which is used when writing a shared index. But we don't release the old split index base in case we already had a split index before this operation, which can thus leak memory.

Plug the leak by releasing the previous base.
