I don't think it's just a cleanup -- I think it's a bug fix.  But, yes,
it should be a separate patch because it's a separate bug.  That bug
can be hit if the folio passed to iomap_read_folio() covers more than
one extent, the first call to iomap_iter() succeeds, and then the second
one fails.  Now we have a folio with a positive read_pending that will
never become zero, so we'll never unlock the folio.

Not sure how we'd write an fstest that would exercise this ...
