Sashiko complains:

"Since page_folio() invokes _compound_head() which dereferences the page
pointer, won't this cause a NULL pointer dereference before reaching the
BUG_ON(!folio) check if osd_data->pages[j] is actually NULL?
The previous code checked the page pointer before any dereference occurred.
Would it be safer to check the array element for NULL before passing it to
page_folio()?"

The BUG_ON can just be removed, as fscrypt_finalize_bounce_page() cannot take
or set its argument to NULL as constructed, so the check was unnecessary
to begin with.
