Subject: [PATCH 4/4] goldfish_pipe/mm: convert to the new release_user_pages() call

From: John Hubbard <jhubbard@...dia.com>

For code that retains pages via get_user_pages*(),
release those pages via the new release_user_pages(),
instead of calling put_page().

This prepares for eventually fixing the problem described
in [1], and is following a plan listed in [2].

[1] https://lwn.net/Articles/753027/ : "The Trouble with get_user_pages()"

[2] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180709080554.21931-1-jhubbard@nvidia.com
    Proposed steps for fixing get_user_pages() + DMA problems.
