Subject: mm/huge_memory: invert folio_ref_freeze() check to reduce indentation
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2026 23:32:34 +0200

Invert the folio_ref_freeze() success check in
__folio_freeze_and_split_unmapped() to return early on failure, which
removes one level of indentation from the entire success path.

This is a pure refactoring with no functional change.  It prepares the
function to be split into separate helpers for anonymous and file-backed
folios in a later patch.
