Thanks for your patch. This really improves the code.

Would the page remain in LRU or file mapping? IIUC, MF_DELAYED is returned from two functions:
1. me_swapcache_dirty. Page lives in swap cache and removed from LRU.
2. kvm_gmem_error_folio. Page range is unmapped. It seems page won't be in the LRU or page cache.
Or am I miss something?

Besides from the above possible nits, this patch looks good to me.
