The context of the comment is error handling. ENOMEM can come from
either folio allocation / addition (there's an allocation for xarray
node). So is it really wrong to say folios given the context of the
comment? It's not supposed to be a generic comment, but rather one
that applies to its context.

Maybe this change:
-                         * When NOWAIT I/O fails to allocate folios this could
+                         * When NOWAIT I/O fails to allocate memory for folio

Or perhaps just what hch suggested.
