It's not clear to me whether folio_wait_bit_common() needs to be marked
as __sched or whether marking its callers is sufficient, but I'm pretty
sure you forgot to mark put_and_wait_on_page_locked() as __sched, which
is an important one as it's now where we wait for readahead to finish
when reading a file.
