Subject: [PATCH] xfarray: don't crash when sorting if array element crosses a
folio
LOLLM points out that if an array element crosses a folio boundary,
xfile_get_folio returns a NULL folio pointer. If this happens,
si->folio is also set to NULL, and calling folio_pos/folio_address will
just crash the kernel. Teach this function to handle this condition by
falling back to reading the array element into scratchpad memory.

This is one instruction more efficient than open-coding folio_pos() +
folio_size(). It's the equivalent of (x + y) << z rather than
x << z + y << z.
