Subject: [PATCH 5.11 03/41] coda: fix reference counting in coda_file_mmap error path

From: Christian König <christian.koenig@....com>

commit 9da29c7f77cd04e5c9150e30f047521b6f20a918 upstream.

mmap_region() now calls fput() on the vma->vm_file.

So we need to drop the extra reference on the coda file instead of the
host file.
