Because you moved 'out' label to not include *folio_sz setting, folio_sz will
not set in this case.  It should be set.

Before this change, folio_size() is called after folio_put().  Shouldn't it be
called before folio_put()?  If so, could we make a separate fix for that first,
and then make this change on top of it, so that it can be easily applied to
relevant stable kernels?
