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.  That error path is also broken in a second way -- when its
folio_put causes the ref to become 0, it will implicitly call
free_huge_folio, but then the path *explicitly* calls free_huge_folio. 
Delete the latter.

This is a continuation of the fix
  "mm/hugetlb: fix memfd_pin_folios free_huge_pages leak"

[steven.sistare@xxxxxxxxxx: remove explicit call to free_huge_folio(), per Matthew]
