6.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Howells <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 5046a34f0643441f05b0253ea64e1a3af87efe14 ]

Fix netfs_write_begin() to not leak our ref on the request in the event
that we get an error from netfs_wait_for_read().

Fixes: 4090b31422a6 ("netfs: Add a function to consolidate beginning a read")
Closes: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260414082004.3756080-1-dhowells%40redhat.com
