Summary
btrfs: set page extent mapped after read_folio in relocate_one_page
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

btrfs: set page extent mapped after readfolio in relocateone_page

One of the CI runs triggered the following panic

This is the same problem outlined in 17b17fcd6d44 ("btrfs: setpageextentmapped after readfolio in btrfscontexpand") , and the fix is the same. I originally looked for the same pattern elsewhere in our code, but mistakenly skipped over this code because I saw the page cache readahead before we setpageextentmapped, not realizing that this was only in the !page case, that we can still end up with a !uptodate page and then do the btrfsread_folio further down.

The fix here is the same as the above mentioned patch, move the setpageextentmapped call to after the btrfsread_folio() block to make sure that we have the subpage blocksize stuff setup properly before using the page.
