I seem to remember there was some reason you wanted the folio unlocking and
putting.  I guess you need to drop the ref to flush it.

Would it make sense for ->check_write_begin() to be passed a "struct folio
**folio" rather than "struct folio *folio" and then the filesystem can clear
*folio if it disposes of the page?
