Subject: [PATCH 4/6] drivers/IB,hfi1: do not se mmap_sem

This driver already uses gup_fast() and thus we can just drop
the mmap_sem protection around the pinned_vm counter. Note that
the window between when hfi1_can_pin_pages() is called and the
actual counter is incremented remains the same as mmap_sem was
_only_ used for when ->pinned_vm was touched.
