Two trivial comments on the change:
(1) maybe you want to still mention the trylock -> lock change for the
folio in the commit log. Looks like it was only needed when we need to lock
two folios to avoid deadlock (even though I don't know whether it could
happen in any real reproducer..).
(2) you can also drop need_wait_lock var now.
The change looks all good otherwise to me, thanks!
