netfs: do not unlock and put the folio twice
check_write_begin() will unlock and put the folio when return non-zero. So we should avoid unlocking and putting it twice in netfs layer. Change the way ->check_write_begin() works in the following two ways: (1) Pass it a pointer to the folio pointer, allowing it to unlock and put the folio prior to doing the stuff it wants to do, provided it clears the folio pointer. (2) Change the return values such that 0 with folio pointer set means continue, 0 with folio pointer cleared means re-get and all error codes indicating an error (no special treatment for -EAGAIN).
