btrfs_read_merkle_tree_page() allocates a folio and adds it to the
page cache before reading the Merkle tree data from btree items.
If read_key_bytes() fails, the folio is still locked and present in the
page cache. Drop it from the page cache and unlock it before releasing the
allocation reference so a later read can retry instead of finding a locked,
not-uptodate folio.

Hi,
Please ignore this version.
I noticed that this version depends on filemap_remove_folio(). My local
debug tree had this symbol exported, so the patch built there, but exporting
that helper does not look like the right approach for this fix.
I will rework the fix to avoid inserting the folio into the page cache
before the Merkle tree read succeeds, and send a v2.
Sorry for the noise.
Thanks,
Yichong

btrfs_read_merkle_tree_page() allocates a folio and adds it to the page
cache before reading the Merkle tree data from btree items.
If read_key_bytes() fails, the folio is still locked and present in the
page cache. A later read can find the locked, not-uptodate folio instead
of retrying the read.
Avoid installing the folio in the page cache until after the Merkle tree
read has succeeded. This keeps the failure path simple: the newly
allocated folio is not visible to the page cache yet and only needs to be
released.

v2:
- Avoid calling filemap_remove_folio(), which is not exported.
- Add the folio to the page cache only after read_key_bytes() succeeds.
