Just to mention, IMHO it'll still be nicer if we keep the 1st fix patch
only have the folio_ref_try_add_rcu() changes, it'll be easier for
backport.

Now this patch contains not only that but also logically a cleanup patch
that replaces old rcu calls to folio_try_get().  But squashing these may
mean we need explicit backport to 6.6 depending on whether those lines
changed, meanwhile the cleanup part may not be justfied to be backported in
the first place.  I'll leave that to you to decide, no strong feelings here.
