Subject: mm/hugetlb: simplify refs in memfd_alloc_folio
Date: Wed, 4 Sep 2024 12:41:08 -0700
The folio_try_get in memfd_alloc_folio is not necessary. Delete it, and
delete the matching folio_put in memfd_pin_folios. This also avoids
leaking a ref if the memfd_alloc_folio call to hugetlb_add_to_page_cache
fails, which would otherwise need an additional folio_put. This is a
continuation of the fix
"mm/hugetlb: fix memfd_pin_folios free_huge_pages leak"
