[PATCH] huge tmpfs: fix Committed_AS leak

[PATCH] huge tmpfs: fix Committed_AS leak

[Hugh Dickins]

Under swapping load on huge tmpfs, /proc/meminfo's Committed_AS grows
bigger and bigger: just a cosmetic issue for most users, but disabling
for those who run without overcommit (/proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory 2).

shmem_uncharge() was forgetting to unaccount __vm_enough_memory's charge,
and shmem_charge() was forgetting it on the filesystem-full error path.

Fixes: 800d8c63b2e9 ("shmem: add huge pages support")
