mm: fix page leak at nfs_symlink()
commit a0b54adda3fe4b4cc6d28f2a9217cd35d1aa888c upstream. Changes in commit a0b8cab3b9b2 ("mm: remove lru parameter from __pagevec_lru_add and remove parts of pagevec API") have introduced a call to add_to_page_cache_lru() which causes a leak in nfs_symlink() as now the page gets an extra refcount that is not dropped. Jan Stancek observed and reported the leak effect while running test8 from Connectathon Testsuite. After several iterations over the test case, which creates several symlinks on a NFS mountpoint, the test system was quickly getting into an out-of-memory scenario. This patch fixes the page leak by dropping that extra refcount add_to_page_cache_lru() is grabbing.
