Subject: [PATCH 4.13 37/53] fix unbalanced page refcounting in bio_map_user_iov

4.13-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Vitaly Mayatskikh <v.mayatskih@...il.com>

commit 95d78c28b5a85bacbc29b8dba7c04babb9b0d467 upstream.

bio_map_user_iov and bio_unmap_user do unbalanced pages refcounting if
IO vector has small consecutive buffers belonging to the same page.
bio_add_pc_page merges them into one, but the page reference is never
dropped.
