[PATCH] netfs: handle single writeback rolling buffer allocation failure

Message-ID <[email protected]>
netfs_write_folio_single() takes an extra folio reference before
appending the folio to the rolling buffer.

rolling_buffer_append() can fail if it cannot allocate another
folio_queue. Check the return value and drop the extra folio reference
before returning the error.
