put_page_tag_ref() should be called only when get_page_tag_ref() returns a valid reference because only in that case get_page_tag_ref() enters RCU read section while put_page_tag_ref() will call rcu_read_unlock() even if the provided reference is NULL. Fix pgalloc_tag_get() which does not follow this rule causing RCU imbalance. Add a warning in put_page_tag_ref() to catch any future mistakes.
