I substantially included this change a few days ago and forgot to reply
to this email; sorry. It now reads:

/**
* folio_memcg_rcu - Locklessly get the memory cgroup associated with a folio.
* @folio: Pointer to the folio.
*
* This function assumes that the folio is known to have a
* proper memory cgroup pointer. It's not safe to call this function
* against some type of folios, e.g. slab folios or ex-slab folios.
*
* Return: A pointer to the memory cgroup associated with the folio,
* or NULL.
