For some reason commit 9a5280b312e2e ("xfs: reorder iunlink remove operation in xfs_ifree") replaced a jump to the exit path in the event of an xfs_difree() error with a direct return, which skips releasing the perag reference acquired at the top of the function. Restore the original code to drop the reference on error.
