Subject: lib/alloc_tag: fix RCU imbalance in pgalloc_tag_get()
Date: Sat, 1 Jun 2024 16:38:40 -0700
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.
