[f2fs-dev] [PATCH v2] f2fs: fix dentry folio leak in find_in_level

Message-ID <[email protected]>
find_in_level() gets a dentry folio with f2fs_find_data_folio() before
calling find_in_block().  If find_in_block() returns an error, the
function stores the error in res_folio and breaks out of the loop without
dropping the dentry folio.

This leaks the folio reference on the find_in_block() error path.  Drop
the dentry folio before returning the error to the caller.
