Before that commit, there was a try_charge() and commit_charge()
in __add_to_page_cache_locked(). These 2 separated charge functions
were replaced by a single mem_cgroup_charge(). However, it forgot
to add a matching mem_cgroup_uncharge() when the xarray insertion
failed with the page released back to the pool. Fix this by adding a
mem_cgroup_uncharge() call when insertion error happens.

Can "if (!huge)" replace "if (charged)"?
