Thanks for the review.
The AI review makes a valid observation: `vmf->page` should not be accessed
before holding the page table lock.
I've moved `fault_folio = page_folio(vmf->page)` after `pte_offset_map_lock()`
and the PTE validation check, so `vmf->page` is now read under the page table
lock. This fix will be included in v2.
Best regards,
Hongfu
