Love the diffstat ;-)

Good. Could even pull the maybe_unlock_mmap_for_io() all the way to the
top of the file and remove it from the VM_HUGEPAGE case?

I'd put the:
/* mmap read-around */
here

I think we also should remove the filemap_invalidate_lock_shared()
here, no?

We also need to handle the !folio case differently. Before, if it was
gone, that was definitely an OOM. Now if it's gone it might have been
truncated, or removed due to memory pressure, or it might be an OOM
situation where readahead didn't manage to create the folio.
