Yes, good catch. It was fixed last year by the following commit:

commit 165df9a080b6
Author: Pavel Shilovsky <pshilov@microsoft.com>
Date:   Tue Jan 29 16:40:28 2019 -0800

    CIFS: Fix leaking locked VFS cache pages in writeback retry
    
    If we don't find a writable file handle when retrying writepages
    we break of the loop and do not unlock and put pages neither from
    wdata2 nor from the original wdata. Fix this by walking through
    all the remaining pages and cleanup them properly.

Cheers,
