Subject: [PATCH 1/1] lib/alloc_tag: fix RCU imbalance in pgalloc_tag_get()

put_page_tag_ref() should be called only when get_page_tag_ref() returns
a valid reference because only in that case get_page_tag_ref() enters RCU
read section while put_page_tag_ref() will call rcu_read_unlock() even if
the provided reference is NULL. Fix pgalloc_tag_get() which does not
follow this rule causing RCU imbalance. Add a warning in put_page_tag_ref()
to catch any future mistakes.

Fixes: cc92eba1c88b ("mm: fix non-compound multi-order memory accounting in __free_pages")
Reported-by: kernel test robot <oliver.sang@...el.com>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-lkp/202405271029.6d2f9c4c-lkp@intel.com
