If memory charge failed, instead of returning the hpage but with an error, allow the function to cleanup the folio properly, which is normally what a function should do in this case - either return successfully, or return with no side effect of partial runs with an indicated error. This will also avoid the caller calling mem_cgroup_uncharge() unnecessarily with either anon or shmem path (even if it's safe to do so).
