LGTM from an MM perspective with a few nits below. FWIW:

If the folio is charged user memory, we will still double charge here,
but that would be a bug. We can put a warning in this case or use
folio_memcg() instead to avoid double charges in that case as well.

Is it possible to point to the commit that has the explanation here?
The one you pointed me to before? Otherwise it's not really obvious
where the circular dependency comes from (at least to me).
