Hi Balbir,
Yes, in the normal page lifecycle, uncharge is done in page free time.
But in memory error handling case, in-use pages (i.e. swap cache and page
cache) are removed from normal path and they don't pass page freeing code.
So I think that this change is to keep the consistent charging for such a case.
