There's an assumption here that fsdax only has order-0 pages.
pfn_to_page() is going to return the precise page for that pfn, but then
page->mapping and page->index are not valid for tail pages.
I'm currently trying to folio-ise memory-failure.c, and it is not
going well! There are several places where it's hard to tell
what should happen.
