Please use the one titled "btrfs: protect folio::private when attaching 
extent buffer folios" instead.

The one titled "btrfs: fix a possible race window when allocating new 
extent buffers" has a bug that would lead to a crash when a race happens.

The "fix a possible race" one is originally a RFC without proper root 
cause pinned down, nor enough determining tests.
Considering it's an urgent bug we're pushing that RFC fix for testing.

But now we have pinned down the root cause and have done enough tests, 
the older RFC one can be gone.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks,
