[PATCH] mm/khugepaged: Cleanup memcg uncharge for failure path

From: Peter Xu
Date: Fri Mar 03 2023 - 10:13:14 EST


Explicit memcg uncharging is not needed when the memcg accounting has the
same lifespan of the page/folio. That becomes the case for khugepaged
after Yang & Zach's recent rework so the hpage will be allocated for each
collapse rather than being cached.

Cleanup the explicit memcg uncharge in khugepaged failure path and leave
that for put_page().
