[PATCH] mm/page_counter: remove an incorrect call to propagate_protected_usage()

From: Donghai Qiao
Date: Thu Nov 18 2021 - 13:11:38 EST


The function propagate_protected_usage() is called to propagate the usage
change in the page_counter structure. But there is call to this function
from page_counter_try_charge() when there is actually no usage change.
Hence this call should be removed.
