This code calls folio_put() on an error pointer which will lead to a
crash.  Check for both error pointers and NULL pointers before calling
folio_put().

Fixes: 38a55db9877c ("filemap: Handle error return from __filemap_get_folio()")

Have you observed this, or do you just think this can happen?

If the former, please share the crash.
If the latter, please document the path which can lead to this
happening.
