How does _this_ folio end up in btrfs's write_dev_supers()? This is a
swap read. The only folios which are swapped are anonymous and tmpfs.
btrfs takes care of doing its own I/O. wait_dev_supers() is looking
for the error set in btrfs_end_super_write() which is the completion
routine for write_dev_supers(). The pages involved there are attached
to a btrfs address_space, not shmem or anon.
