Subject: alloc_tag: fix page_ext_get/page_ext_put sequence during page splitting
Date: Thu, 11 Jul 2024 15:04:57 -0700

pgalloc_tag_sub() might call page_ext_put() using a page different from
the one used in page_ext_get() call.  This does not pose an issue since
page_ext_put() ignores this parameter as long as it's non-NULL but
technically this is wrong.  Fix it by storing the original page used in
page_ext_get() and passing it to page_ext_put().
