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

[Suren Baghdasaryan]

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.
