The commit 2c653d0ee2ae ("ksm: introduce ksm_max_page_sharing per page
deduplication limit") introduced a possible failure case in the
stable_tree_insert(), where we may free the new allocated stable_node_dup
if we fail to prepare the missing chain node.
Then that kfolio return and unlock with a freed stable_node set... And
any MM activities can come in to access kfolio->mapping, so UAF.
Fix it by moving folio_set_stable_node() to the end after stable_node
is inserted successfully.

Looks correct to me.
We might now link the node before the folio->mapping is set up. Do we
care? Don't think so.
