If memfd_pin_folios tries to create a hugetlb page, but someone else
already did, then folio gets the value -EEXIST here:

        folio = memfd_alloc_folio(memfd, start_idx);
        if (IS_ERR(folio)) {
                ret = PTR_ERR(folio);
                if (ret != -EEXIST)
                        goto err;

then on the next trip through the "while start_idx" loop we panic here:

        if (folio) {
                folio_put(folio);

To fix, set the folio to NULL on error.
