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@oracle.com: remove explicit call to free_huge_folio(), per Matthew]

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
