So that diff works to avoid the BUG_ON, but it does not work to handle
the error case. I think the problem comes from:

vma->vm_file->f_mapping != folio->mapping

...where page_folio(page)->mapping is likely not setup correctly for DAX
pages. This goes back to the broken nature of DAX page reference
counting which I am fixing now, but this folio association also needs to
be fixed up.
