Title
ceph: put folios not suitable for writeback
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ceph: put folios not suitable for writeback The batch holds references to the folios (see `filemap_get_folios`, `folio_batch_release`), so we need to `folio_put` the folios we remove. Tested on v6.18.
