Subject: ocfs2: cluster: fix o2hb_dependent_users leak on pin failure
Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2026 20:49:33 +0800

In o2hb_region_inc_user(), o2hb_dependent_users is incremented
unconditionally before calling o2hb_region_pin().  If the pin fails, the
counter is never decremented and any partially-pinned regions are never
unpinned, since the caller does not call o2hb_region_dec_user() on error.

The leaked counter causes subsequent o2hb_region_inc_user() calls to skip
pinning entirely (the > 1 check), leaving heartbeat regions unprotected.

Fix by rolling back on failure: call o2hb_region_unpin(NULL) to release
any partially-pinned regions and decrement o2hb_dependent_users to restore
the pre-increment state.
