I substantially included this change a few days ago and forgot to reply
to this email; sorry.  It now reads:

/**
 * folio_memcg_rcu - Locklessly get the memory cgroup associated with a folio.
 * @folio: Pointer to the folio.
 *
 * This function assumes that the folio is known to have a
 * proper memory cgroup pointer. It's not safe to call this function
 * against some type of folios, e.g. slab folios or ex-slab folios.
 *
 * Return: A pointer to the memory cgroup associated with the folio,
 * or NULL.
