Subject: afs: Fix dangling folio ref counts in writeback
From: Vishal Moola (Oracle) <vishal.moola@xxxxxxxxx>
commit a2b6f2ab3e144f8e23666aafeba0e4d9ea4b7975 upstream.
Commit acc8d8588cb7 converted afs_writepages_region() to write back a
folio batch. If writeback needs rescheduling, the function exits without
dropping the references to the folios in fbatch. This patch fixes that.
[DH: Moved the added line before the _leave()]
Fixes: acc8d8588cb7 ("afs: convert afs_writepages_region() to use filemap_get_folios_tag()")
