It currently returns a page, but callers just check for NULL/page to gauge success. Clean this up and return the appropriate error directly instead.

Only because the other patches depend on it.

But none of those is stable material either as I can tell. It's a fairly simple and nice to have enhancement, but not really a grave bug or regression fix.

It causes a big perf regression when swapping between IO backends, and even caused confusion for that initial reporter. So while it's not a very important crash fix, I do think shoving into stable is prudent.
