mm/huge_memory: drop beyond-EOF folios with the right number of refs
commit 14efb4793519d73fb2902bb0ece319b886e4b4b9 upstream.
When an after-split folio is large and needs to be dropped due to EOF,
folio_put_refs(folio, folio_nr_pages(folio)) should be used to drop all
page cache refs. Otherwise, the folio will not be freed, causing memory
leak.
This leak would happen on a filesystem with blocksize > page_size and a
truncate is performed, where the blocksize makes folios split to >0 order
ones, causing truncated folios not being freed.
