How is the folio derefence going to work if folio is NULL?

That being said, I really wonder if the current API is the right way to
go.  Can't we just have a ->get_folio method with the same signature as
__filemap_get_folio, and then do the __filemap_get_folio from the file
system and avoid the page/folio == NULL clean path entirely?  Then on
the done side move the unlock and put into the done method as well.

But for the current version I don't really understand why the error
unwinding changes here.
