Actually looking into commit 66dabbb65d67 it seems it has two problems -
one in filemap_fault() where in:

               if (IS_ERR(folio)) {
                        if (fpin)
                                goto out_retry;

we need to clear folio so that we don't try to folio_put() the error
pointer. And another in afs_dir_get_folio() where the changes effectively
make that function return ERR_PTR instead of NULL as well which will then
confuse afs_edit_dir_add() and other callers (which were not updated).
