I don't think this can happen.  Look at the call trace;
block_dirty_folio() is called from unmap_page_range().  That means the
page is in the page tables.  We unmap the pages in a folio from the
page tables before we set folio->mapping to NULL.  Look at
invalidate_inode_pages2_range() for example:

                                unmap_mapping_pages(mapping, indices[i],
                                                (1 + end - indices[i]), false);
                        folio_lock(folio);
                        folio_wait_writeback(folio);
                        if (folio_mapped(folio))
                                unmap_mapping_folio(folio);
                        BUG_ON(folio_mapped(folio));
                                if (!invalidate_complete_folio2(mapping, folio))

... and invalidate_complete_folio2() is where we set ->mapping to NULL
in __filemap_remove_folio -> page_cache_delete().
