I am not sure this is right.

The original patch uses put_folio, because folio_try_get() is called
before this if block. But for 6.1, get_page_unless_zero() is called
after this if block, so the page in this if block has no elevated
refcount compared to the original patch context. You might want to
replace “goto put_folio” with “continue” in the original patch instead.
