By the way, can we change the current address_space based netfs API to
folio-based, which shall be more general? That is, the current
implementation of netfs API uses (address_space, page_offset, len) tuple
to describe the destination where the read data shall be store into.
While in the demand-read case, the input folio may not be the page
cache, and thus there's no address_space attached with it.
