Well shoot, I was just starting to warm up to the bool*.  I like that
we're not presuming the polarity for the callers we expect to be
removing pages and I generally just dislike passing fixed bool
parameters to change the function behavior.  I've cleaned it up a bit
further and was starting to do some testing on this which I'd propose
for v5.  Does it change your opinion?

    vfio/type1: Remove locked page accounting workqueue
    
    If the mmap_sem is contented then the vfio type1 IOMMU backend will
    defer locked page accounting updates to a workqueue task.  This has a
    few problems and depending on which side the user tries to play, they
    might be over-penalized for unmaps that haven't yet been accounted or
    race the workqueue to enter more mappings than they're allowed.  The
    original intent of this workqueue mechanism seems to be focused on
    reducing latency through the ioctl, but we cannot do so at the cost
    of correctness.  Remove this workqueue mechanism and update the
    callers to allow for failure.  We can also now recheck the limit under
    write lock to make sure we don't exceed it.
    
    vfio_pin_pages_remote() also now necessarily includes an unwind path
    which we can jump to directly if the consecutive page pinning finds
    that we're exceeding the user's memory limits.  This avoids the
    current lazy approach which does accounting and mapping up to the
    fault, only to return an error on the next iteration to unwind the
    entire vfio_dma.

Patch 2/2 would clearly change the &lock_cap in
vfio_pin_page_external() to a NULL, so only _remote passes a pointer
there.  Thanks,

Alex
