This will prevent more cases of possible folio refcount overflows with large pagecache folios. Introduce folio_get_checked() for checked reference acquisition when the caller already holds a reference. It warns and fails on a non-positive refcount and rejects additional references at the limit. Use folio_get_checked() in splice_folio_into_pipe() and fuse_ref_folio(), returning -EFAULT on failure, like we already do for pipe-buffer duplication. Similarly, make try_get_page() use it instead. Likely try_get_page() should be renamed (or removed) later, as it doesn't match the folio_try_get() semantics and is confusing. If we hit the limit after splicing some data, return the number of bytes already spliced. Teach the callers to handle errors, and stop filemap_splice_read() if we only spliced part of a folio, so we don't skip ahead to the next folio. The check in try_get_page() also covers pipe-buffer duplication by tee() and partial pipe-to-pipe splicing. Note that we deliberately will not fall back to the slow path of copying the folio, particularly as the folio might have an invalid refcount. If it is ever really required, we can revisit.
