folio_trylock() in erofs_try_to_free_all_cached_folios() may
successfully acquire the folio lock, but the subsequent check
for erofs_folio_is_managed() can skip unlocking when the folio
is not managed by EROFS.

As Gao Xiang pointed out, this condition should not happen in
practice because compressed_bvecs[] only holds valid cached folios
at this point — any non-managed folio would have already been
detached by z_erofs_cache_release_folio() under folio lock.

Fix this by adding DBG_BUGON() to catch unexpected folios
and ensure folio_unlock() is always called.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

Now I have a complete picture. Let me compile my analysis.

This is NOT a bugfix, but I don't mind if such random
patch backports to stable kernels.

Thanks,
