Have you tested this?  I'd expect it to throw some VM assertions.

        ret = vmf->vma->vm_ops->page_mkwrite(vmf);
        /* Restore original flags so that caller is not surprised */
        vmf->flags = old_flags;
        if (unlikely(ret & (VM_FAULT_ERROR | VM_FAULT_NOPAGE)))
                return ret;
...
                if (unlikely(!tmp || (tmp &
                                      (VM_FAULT_ERROR | VM_FAULT_NOPAGE)))) {
                        folio_put(folio);
                        return tmp;
                }

So you locked the folio, then called folio_put() without unlocking it.
Usually the VM complains noisily if you free a locked folio.
