Bug description:json_decode memory leak

Description:
------------
Hello

I notice a bug in json_decode().
With the following script, the memory is not reclaimed.

But if I use json_decode($content, true); the memory is well
reclaimed.

By the way, I'm not sure it's an issue with JSON, may be it's only about
objects

Test script:
---------------
<?php

ini_set('memory_limit', -1);

function m()
{
    echo round(memory_get_usage() / 1024 / 1024, 2) . "\n";
}


m();
$content =
file_get_contents('https://gist.githubusercontent.com/lyrixx/3542faea462e5d101d0d755886ea79bd/raw/b83466f2dc61348e414d3507eeb5740f7751e8f3/file.json');
m();
$data = json_decode($content);
m();
unset($content, $data);
m();
gc_mem_caches();
m();
gc_collect_cycles();
m();



Expected result:
----------------
0.56
75.01
754.69
0.56
0.56
0.56


Actual result:
--------------
0.56
75.01
817.65
16.55
16.55
16.55
