[BUG] Fstests generic/027 is pretty easy to trigger a slow but steady memory leak if run with "-o compress=lzo" mount option. Normally one single run of generic/027 is enough to eat up at least 4G ram. [CAUSE] In commitd4088803f5("btrfs: subpage: make lzo_compress_pages() compatible") we changed how @page_in is released. But that refactoring makes @page_in only released after all pages being compressed. This leaves error path not releasing @page_in. And by "error path" things like incompressible data will also be treated as an error (-E2BIG). Thus it can cause a memory leak if even nothing wrong happened. [FIX] Add check under @out label to release @page_in when needed, so when we hit any error, the input page is properly released.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
