I'm copying this from folio_reset_order [1]. My paranoia about touching
anything related to struct page is high, so I did the same thing
folio_reset_order does here.

I don't have a test platform for FS DAX. In prior revisions, I was just
moving existing FS DAX code to a helper, which I felt confident about.
This revision is slightly different, and I don't feel comfortable
modifying FS DAX code without a test platform. I agree we should update
FS DAX, but that should be done in a follow-up with coordinated testing.
