Right. I will reuse this. Thanks.

Dissolving path is special here. Since update_and_free_page failed,
the number of surplus pages was incremented. Surplus pages are
the number of pages greater than max_huge_pages. Since we are
incrementing max_huge_pages, we should decrement (undo) the
addition to surplus_huge_pages and surplus_huge_pages_node[nid].
