These two are just wrong. You cannot make any page reference for
PageDmaPinned() account against a pin count. First, it is just conceptually
wrong as these references need not be long term pins, second, you can
easily race like:

Pinner				Random process
				get_page(page)
pin_page_for_dma()
				put_page(page)
				 -> oops, page gets unpinned too early

So you really have to create counterpart to get_user_pages() - like
put_user_page() or whatever... It is inconvenient to have to modify all GUP
users but I don't see a way around that.
