In that case, shouldn't we just modify to_iomap_page(folio) function
to just return folio_get_private(folio) or folio->private ?

Thanks for the review. The problem in not splitting this would be a lot
of variable initialization for !iop case as well.
Hence in one of the previous versions it was discussed that splitting it
into a helper routine for iop case would be a better approach.
