Does that need converting to say 'folio'?
Changed the parapgraph (passed it through fmt too)

         * if '#1' does not observe setting of PG_lru by '#0' and
         * fails isolation, the explicit barrier will make sure that
         * folio_evictable check will put the folio on the correct
         * LRU. Without smp_mb(), folio_set_lru() can be reordered
         * after folio_test_mlocked() check and can make '#1' fail the
         * isolation of the folio whose mlocked bit is cleared (#0 is
         * also looking at the same folio) and the evictable folio will
         * be stranded on an unevictable LRU.
Other than that:
